St. Thomas' School in Dwarka has taken a significant leap forward in modern pedagogy with the inauguration of 'Eureka', a dedicated Science and Mathematics Park on its campus. This new facility is designed to move education beyond textbooks and foster a culture of experiential and hands-on learning among students.
CBSE Director Inaugurates Innovative Learning Space
The park was formally inaugurated by Dr. Biswajit Saha, Director (Skill Education and Training) of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). During the ceremony, Dr. Saha commended the school's proactive initiative and stressed the critical need for such experiential learning environments in today's educational landscape. He emphasized that these spaces are vital in helping students translate abstract scientific and mathematical theories into tangible, practical understanding.
Interactive Installations Drive Inquiry-Based Learning
'Eureka' is not just a park but a dynamic learning laboratory. It features a diverse array of interactive installations and exhibits that are built around fundamental principles of physics, chemistry, biology, and mathematics. These installations are strategically designed to:
- Encourage students to experiment and tinker.
- Allow them to observe scientific phenomena firsthand.
- Promote inquiry-based learning where curiosity leads the way.
The school authorities stated that this initiative is in perfect alignment with contemporary educational frameworks that prioritize activity-based and student-centric learning methodologies.
Complementing Classroom Teaching for Holistic Development
The new park is envisioned as a powerful complement to traditional classroom instruction. It provides a dedicated space for experiential exploration, where theoretical knowledge gained in class can be tested and visualized. This addition bolsters the school's existing infrastructure, which is already focused on nurturing a scientific temper, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills among its student body. The launch of 'Eureka' marks a concrete step towards making learning more engaging, memorable, and effective for the young minds at St. Thomas' School, Dwarka.
