Vega Schools hosted their \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcend of the year project exhibition\u00e2\u20ac\u2122, a first ever initiative in this space. This exhibition was a culmination of a yearlong effort by students and marked the completion of the first batch at Vega Schools.<\/p>\n

It was for the first time in Gurugram, that a school working on the principles of \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcproject-based learning\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 has ever held an exhibition that has been completely designed and driven by students, starting from Nursery to Grade 4.<\/p>\n

The unique project-based<\/u> learning model taught at Vega Schools is designed by Dr Steven Edwards, former White-house and United Nations consultant, who has been involved in the field of education strategy and training for over 40 years.<\/p>\n

The successful completion of projects led by learners and supported by their learning leaders, resulted in products like brochures, nukkad naataks, travel guide books and pollution reduction solutions.<\/p>\n

The end projects created were close replicas to real-world products, thus giving Vega learners early exposure to real life solutions and making them future ready for a competitive world.<\/p>\n

\"ProjectEach grade displayed its project complete with their \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcilead\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 cycles that explained the learning journey they had undertaken-from the probing questions to planning, procurement of knowledge and reflection.<\/p>\n

Each Grade had its own specific theme and topic, which enabled them to draw up and display unique solutions in a sustainable manner. The solutions ranged from carpooling and pollution reduction solutions to budgeting, costing and the explanation of the thought process behind where they would like to live and travel.<\/p>\n

By presenting these topics, independent of their leaders and parents, students incorporated the math, science and language skills they had learned and applied throughout the year.<\/p>\n

As the learners explained the projects to the parents and guests, they displayed various 21st<\/sup> century skills like coordination, communication, collaboration, creative thinking, comparing, contrasting and decision making etc. Skills that are important at this turn of the 21st<\/sup> century. In contrast to the regular parent-teacher meetings or report card days, which every student dreads, Vega challenged the status quo and turned a final submission into a day filled with fun and learning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
