About 3 hours long the workshop was attended by 76 students of grade 8 on Friday, May 18, 2012 which touched upon the key elements of Cyclohexane’s 6E framework. The iThink Workshop: The workshop is designed to bring techniques of observation, thinking, brainstorming and creating new ideas to the children in a structured yet easy to learn way.
Research has shown that thinking skills can be taught and it is deliberate thinking that leads to innovation. Their mission was to enable our children to learn the techniques of deliberate thinking and to believe in themselves to innovate.
Learning Objectives: By participating in the workshop the children learnt
- To develop a keen sense and habit of observation
- Got exposure to interesting innovations in the world
- Learnt techniques of creating ideas
- Self-confidence to expressed themselves in a constructive way and listen to others
- Practiced the elements of refining an idea
- Understood the notion of developing an idea to take it to market
On behalf of middle school teachers and students I take this opportunity to thank the management for organizing fun based learning opportunities for students as well as for teachers.
