Star Performer at ’Synapse’ – the inter school online Science event

July 27, 2020

Ishita Groverr of Class-9 represented school in the online inter-school science event, SYNAPSE organised by Vasant Valley School, New Delhi on 25th July 2020 and won the first position in the Panel Discussion.  The topic for discussion was Assessment of “Internet of Things (IoT) Risks vs Ease”.  “The Internet of Things” is a more advanced form of technology in which digital devices can connect and communicate with each other and are receptive to their surroundings, thus, their ability to perform functions is not just restricted to what is instructed to them, instead, they can function independently and smartly. They do not require direct human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction.

For the panel discussion students were divided into groups of around three to four each and a panel was formed.  Each panel comprised of students from different schools, thinking and collaborating with each other.  They were allotted around 25 minutes for the same.  Each panel was given liberty to plan the discussion the way they would like to present it, keeping in mind the upper time limit of around fifteen minutes for the final show.  Assessment was based on individual and group parameters like scientific content conveyed, oratory skills, creative thinking and presentation, consensus reached as a group and overall effectiveness.

We are proud of the performance that Ishita delivered at the event.
