Atal Tinkering Labs making thinkers

Image
 I am very happy to say,  that Atal tinkering lab  activities giving lots of job satisfaction to me. Making me very enthusiastic to do mentoring to the students innovations  . As a lab incharge , since last 3 years  I  had been faced excellent movements with the young students from 6th to 10th grade.  All of them are very exciting to do new things,  to creating new,  to choose new solutions for the existing problems.  I  learnt that  the students are very interesting  to do discussion about the topics and societal problems rather than listening the  classroom teaching on freezed topics.  Always they are like to become active in productive things.  So they are not more interested on passive teaching learning practices.  I  understood that teachers/i need to teach the solid (structured) syllabus through the way which the interesting by the students. Students like unstructured approaches.   ...

Analysis of SIM 2024-25 Registrations: Trends and Insights into STEM and ATL

Image
Introduction The SIM 2024-25 registration data reveals significant disparities among Indian states in adopting STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education and ATL (Atal Tinkering Lab) curricula. This analysis delves into the top-performing states, challenges faced by others, and the broader impact of various initiatives based on the provided data.   Students of Andhra Pradesh with thei innovation  1.  Factors Encouraging STEM and ATL Curriculum in the Top Five States: The top five states in terms of participation and registrations are Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Karnataka. Their collective performance is reflected in the following figures: Total Schools: 25,964 Teams Registered: 1,31,067 Total Students: 5,03,796 Ideas Submitted: 68,966 Key Encouraging Factors : Comprehensive Policies:   States like Tamil Nadu and Kerala integrate STEM into mainstream education, ensuring a broader reach. Investment in Infrastru...

Using Technology to Teach Biology Effectively: A Case Study of Blood Group Testing Devices

Image
Using Technology to Teach Biology Effectively: A Case Study of Blood Group Testing Devices Teaching biology effectively involves more than delivering content; it requires making the subject engaging, relatable, and impactful. Integrating technology into biology education can enhance students' understanding and curiosity. One such innovative project is designing a smart device for blood group testing, which combines biology with chemistry, physics, and mathematics, offering a multidisciplinary approach to learning. Development of smart blood group testing device: 1 . Understand the Basic Principle Blood group differentiation is based on antigens (A, B, AB, O) present on red blood cells. These antigens react with specific antibodies, causing agglutination. The reaction could potentially influence electrical conductivity or other measurable properties. 2 . Key Properties to Test To use output current as a differentiator, you need to focus on measurable electrical or electr...
