A dad. A partner. A son. A problem solver. A learner. A teacher.
That’s what Vedant wrote when we asked him for feedback. “Physics Club for Life“. We collected feedback from the children because that’s what this is all about. If you can’t create an environment where children want to come every week and have fun learning, then nothing else matters. So glad to see how much they […]
MoreOver the last 6 sessions we embarked on a mission to Mars with all our children in Sherwood High. Using that mission as a background we explored a variety of ideas and problems as a team. Interesting videos provided a window into the world of rocket scientists at NASA and JPL. Tricky problems stretched our […]
MoreAt this busy beautiful school, located at the Nice Road exit which seems to match the busy-ness of all the children inside, we are launching a year long experiential learning program for science. Special thanks to the vision and guidance of Mrs. Agnes to build a program like this at Sherwood High. The goal is […]
MoreAfter an intense and exciting couple of weeks the children got a chance to present their work to their parents. Felt very proud seeing their videos. Parents were all quite impressed by what everyone created. Stablebow wants to take everyone along. Not make children compete unnecessarily. So we distributed personalised certificates to every child.
MoreWho says programming should be scary and full of syntax? We are learning thinking like a programmer through various designs for a candy dispenser. Look at the creativity and fun associated. Without realizing children are building algorithms, IF ELSE blocks and handling boundary conditions. We will soon graduate into demonstrating Newton’s laws using Python. Learning […]
MoreAs we wrap up the first phase of this semester, children are rapidly finishing up their projects. The creativity and persistence being displayed by everyone is so infectious. We should see videos from each child next week, but here is a sneak peak. Some of the designs … Look at the craftsmanship of this catapult […]
MoreToday was probably super high on fun and learning quotient. The idea was to continue exploration of Newton’s laws and the concepts of weight / weightlessness. People often confuse weight and mass. Mass is not easily changeable. It’s more real. Weight is experienced. That was the theme of the initial discussion. We talked about why […]
MoreMany think David Backham is GOD on the football field. So can he defy laws of physics too? We talked earlier that Newton’s law states an object has a tendency (inertia) to stay on a straight path with constant velocity, unless an external force changes it’s direction and/or speed. Yet, Beckham seems to some how […]
