Description

Ignite the Minds is a year-long educational initiative by the Professional Development Avenue of Rotaract club of Mount Carmel College. It is aimed at empowering students through interactive learning sessions. The 1st edition for the month of December was conducted on 3rd December 2024.Our team conducted 45-minute classes for Class 5 students at Government VK Obaidulla Primary School in Shivajinagar. The sessions are attended by both boys and girls, and our primary focus is on engaging students through a combination of academic and co-curricular activities to foster holistic learning. During this edition we focused on two engaging topics: Grammar and Fractions. We adopted an innovative approach to teaching through quizzes and games to ensure the concepts were both engaging and memorable. The session on Grammar was about comprehension and composition enabling them to understand various concepts. This was conducted in a competitive quiz format,making the learning both informative and interactive. The second part of the session delved into Fractions, a topic often perceived as challenging. To simplify learning, we designed fraction games like “Fraction Match” and “Pizza Slices,” where students practiced identifying, comparing, and simplifying fractions. These activities promoted hands-on learning, ensuring that even complex concepts were easily grasped. Students displayed remarkable teamwork and a healthy competitive spirit throughout the activities. By transforming traditional learning into a game-oriented experience, Ignite the Minds not only reinforced academic knowledge but also fostered a love for learning. Overall, this was a resounding success, furthering our mission of creating an engaging educational environment and leaving the students eagerly looking forward to the next session.
