Details of the Programme:
Based on the active enrollment of students in India’s largest science Examination” Vigyan Vidyarthi Manthan” our school is chosen to participate in the activity based programme which is slated to be in Hybrid mode (Both online and offline) on 12th December 2021. Around 7500 students will assemble the kit simultaneously online to create a Guinness world record. Total 92 Schools all over India took part in the event in virtual mode.
Procedure:
We have nominated 94 students from classes VI and VII for the activity as instructed by the organizing team. Accordingly 97 number of Rain water and filtration kits were dispatched to us from the Ministry of Earth Sciences, GOI. We have given 3 days of intensive hands on training on assembling the kits as well as how to conduct the experiment in online mode too ( Microsoft Teams App) by forming Whatsapp groups for the nominated students. Some essential Do’s and Don’t instructions were given to the students beforehand.
The students were able to perform the activity online with other participants within the stipulated time, though there were some network glitches in between, but the programme ended in a positive note from both the students and parent’s perspective. The students and the coordinating teachers will be given certificates bearing the logo of Guinness world Record title as assured by the organizing team. The programme ended successfully.
