Project-based learning helps the children to concentrate better and participate in the learning process. At GIIS Noida, building and functioning of machines that make the learning process exciting and engaging through sessions on aero-modelling, gliders, submarines and many more.
The students are introduced to the history of these machines. They are fascinated with the evolution of this flying machine or the functionality of the hover craft. Every student is then given a take-away kit and they assemble their very own machine upon the instructions of the trainer. This do-it yourself kit helps them concentrate better and apply their logical mind to the sequencing of each part. Robotics lends itself to the applied, real-life problems found in project-based tasks. The students study parts of the airplane or glider or any machine which is the topic for the week and understood the functions. The next level of the project is to make their machines work.
Robotics class at GIIS provided self-directed, challenge-based learning rather than simply absorbing and regurgitating facts. There were no winners or losers in the activity. All groups have the opportunity to improve their designs and knowledge.
