  • Being only 13 years old, I have trained hundreds of teachers not only in my school but in the region too to use Minecraft in the classroom. I have conducted various Skype sessions in countries like Vietnam, India, Hungry, Finland to provide training sessions to teachers and students to use Minecraft and Scratch in their class.
  • Converted tough Maths and Chemistry lessons into STEM using MINECRAFT.  Use of Minecraft made the Quadratic concepts easier and understandable that even the quietest child starts responding in the class.

SOCIAL WORK UNDERTAKEN:

  • We tend to think of global learning experience as something acquired through global visits.  But I got an opportunity to become a member in many global projects that have not only taught me empathy but also helped me to explore my technical skills and gain awareness of the world beyond. All these projects were interdisciplinary with focus on Sustainable Development Goals. I was the active participant of these projects. The first of the project is:-
  • Everyday Kindness, five-week kindness programme at which we took part in innumerable activities.  We worked on #SDG4 – Quality Education, #SDG16- Peace, Justice and strong Institutions and 21st century learning skills.  This project revolves around to add compassion, love, and gratitude into the days of the people around us. Little acts -like mowing a neighbour’s yard, preparing a hot drink for a sibling, visiting residents at a senior center, writing a thank-you note to an affectionate teacher, leading a neighborhood recycling program or just giving up the window seat to.
  • Another project that I closely worked with is  #let’s end poverty wherein we worked on #SDG1 and #SDG2 – No Poverty and Zero Hunger, a collaborative programme with 55 global schools participating. Maria Josè Giavedoni from Argentina, who is the project’s owner, is a professor of English and a specialist in TICs. This program helped to understand the actual meaning of poverty. The project presented a clear picture of the World as it is where most of the people are not as fortunate as the students.
  • As part of celebration of Earth Day, being a tech geek, I created a Buncee for Skype Buncee Buddies Earth Day Project. Through her Buncee Using Skype, I was able to share and sensitize other children about #SDG13 – Climate Action,  #SDG 6 – Clean Water and Sanitation, #SDG7 – Affordable and Clean Energy, #SDG14- Life below water
  • History and Chemistry are taken as boring subjects and Maths as the toughest. To make these lessons interesting and easy to understand, I converted these lessons into STEM using MINECRAFT.  Use of Minecraft made the Quadratic concepts easier and understandable that even the quietest child starts responding in the class.
  • The next project is #DIY4EARTH. This project’s primary objective is to increase awareness about the Sustainable Development Goal ( #SDG11- Sustainable Cities and Communities, #SDG12 – Responsible Consumption and Production, #SDG13 – Climate Change. #SDG17 – Partnership Of The Goals) among the youth of the world. Initiatives taken up by students will enable them to understand the subject better. It is one of the activities to give new life to unused things. In this project, I have created a sitting stool using the Paint bucket. This is an innovative student-centred project in which the model was first created using Paint-3D and Tinkercad and Robotics. 6. Another such project in which I participated was Innovation Project. This project is owned by Koen Timmers, National Geographic educator, Varkey Foundation Ambassador and founder of Zelfstudie.be. “Innovation is change that unlocks new value” – Jamie Notterbelt. Believing in this, the Satyan Team consisting of 50 students from Age Group 11-15 and four facilitators had interactive sessions to arrive at Definitions, Product Innovation, and Use of ICT Tools in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. I and her team were supposed to think on which innovations were making the world more innovative. Students focused on one specific SDG and tried to find an innovation that could be related to the SDG.  Her team had to invent something to make the world better and then create a prototype. This was then matched to a global challenge. Unanimously her project REM SWAPAN was chosen to be the final submission.
