Classrooms Beyond Chalk and Talk
Agastya Virtual School (AViS) hosted a one-day workshop from June 23 to 30 across eight blocks in Ghaziabad and Gautam Buddha Nagar, Uttar Pradesh. The workshop brought together 425 teachers for a day of ideas, inquiry, and investigation. The session provided interactive approaches to make classrooms more lively and interesting, breaking away from traditional methods. With each lesson, educators rediscover the joy of learning, this time from a different perspective.
AI Meets Creativity in Sikkim
Curiosity met code at the AI-on-Wheels summer camp in Ahopul Kishan Secondary School, Pakyong, Sikkim, where children explored how AI shapes the world around them. From creating animations on Scratch to understanding responsible AI use, the camp made tech fun and relatable. A poster-making competition introduced children to AI-powered image generation through prompt design. The winning entry stood out for its creativity and smart use of prompts, showing a clear grasp of how to interact with AI.
Hands-On STEM in Kokrajhar
As part of an ongoing effort to reconnect with over 300 teachers previously trained in Bengaluru, Agastya International Foundation conducted two-day STEM workshops in Kokrajhar and Gossaigaon, Assam, in collaboration with the BTR Government and Infosys Foundation.
Teachers from surrounding areas came together to explore hands-on STEM concepts, share experiences, and learn equity-focused teaching approaches. The workshops focused on practical science topics aimed at encouraging student engagement, with sessions in Chirang, Baksa, Tamulpur, and Udalguri.
