Maker Shala

Tinker Shala and Maker Shala, as part of FS & S programme, are entirely project-based and inference driven to promote scientific temper and scientific approach to problem solving.

Our objective

To create a community of Makers, Innovators, and Entrepreneurs with excellent
critical and creative thinking skills.
To enhance scientific and technical skills, self-awareness and values, and
general awareness to make learners future ready.

With over five years of research and development done by a team of engineers and pedagogical
experts, Maker Shala
has upgraded its curriculum to provide greater autonomy to students from grade VI onwards to
decide projects
they want to work on from among three broad threads.

Infra Tech

In Infra Tech vertical, students work on product design that includes smart and space
saving furniture and living spaces, energy efficient homes, and artistic tensegrity
structures.

Health Tech

Health Tech projects include ideas that aim to find and develop innovative assistive solutions for the elderly
driven by empathy and compassion for a better quality of life with dignity. Students could build smart
assistance devices to facilitate mobility and independence, health bands and trackers, SOS alarm systems, smart
medicine tracker and dispenser, and fall detection safety belts.

Agri Tech

Agri Tech vertical promotes exploration of more sustainable and high-quality food production using technology in
agriculture. With world population estimated to reach 10 billion by 2050 and with India being the most populous
country on the planet, this vertical is particularly relevant to us.

Every year, the projects undertaken by students are STEM-based (Science, Technology, Engineering, and
Math) aligned with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs).

The themes that are introduced to students include

Design Thinking
IoT (Internet of Things)
Wood Working
3D Printing
Physical Computing
Advanced Prototyping
Usage of Tools and Technology

All the sessions for this vertical are held in dedicated Maker Shala labs which are equipped with modern
technical
and technological facilities. Students work individually and with their peers on projects that are conducted
under
the guidance of experienced Technical Trainers.

Students also get multiple opportunities to demonstrate their learning by participating in competitions and
events like Tech Trek, TechnoXian, WRO, and Coolest Projects among many others.

The success of our curriculum is evidenced by the awards and accolades that our children have received in the
past academic years in National and International competitions. They continue this tradition in this academic
year as well.
