ASSET TALENT SEARCH COMPETITIVE EXAMINATIONS

O n 24 January 2016, I appeared for the

Asset Talent Search test in Mumbai which was

organized by Educational Initiatives (EI) along with North Western

University. This is a pan-India assessment test. The students are

assessed according to their grades in English, Mathematics and Science.

I am extremely happy that I did very well in Mathematics scoring 96.4% and

have been identified as a National Talent Scholar. I have qualified to attend a

three week summer camp in Bangalore in May 2016 to be organized by EI in

collaboration with North Western University.

Due to my high score

I have also qualified to attend the Summer Institute for the Gifted (SIG) offered by the National Society for the

Gifted and Talented (NSGT)- USA. These programs are offered on the campuses of top Universities like

Princeton, Yale & UC Berkeley.

In addition, I have also qualified to the Northwestern University Centre for Talent Development's Spectrum

Program in the USA.

I am also qualified for Purdue University GERI's STAR Program which is a residence program at Purdue.

This success has ignited the desire in me to work harder and reach greater heights.

Trip to Nehru Science Centre

O n the 1st of April, 2016, students or Grades 8 and 9 embarked on a trip to the

scholastic Nehru Science Centre, Worli. En route, we chirruped into lively chatter on the bus.

Once there, we jumped out of the bus in impatience and soon met the person who was going to assist and

guide us. He showed us the way to the Centre, where we played many different science-related games and we

even saw a 3D film on endangered species. We learned about various science laws and about some great

physicists. We even saw a short film on skydivers and how Leonardo da Vinci came up with the discovery of

parachutes. The experience was very inspiring and it kindled our curiosity to know more and more. The trip

whetted our appetite to learn and understand science in its varied forms. I would like to thank our teachers for

taking us there. We wish for similar trips in the future.

MYP On first April, 2016, grades 8 and 9 set off to the Nehru Science Centre which is

situated in Worli. Once we reached the centre, we went for a show that showed the effects of

pollution, global warming and deforestation on wildlife.

The exhibit galleries were real fun and exciting as we found out about several things like the grand shuttle,

electric shock, touch the lightning, the braille system, hot and cold, senses of taste and smell, pin screen,

invention of the wheel, shapes in nature, tiling quiz, flow pattern, size and distance, impossible mixture, amazing

shadows, which one is heavier, liquid painting, xylophone, walk on piano, virtual harp and noise of music. Many

of the displays were quite interactive which made the experience enriching. We also saw another short film on

an adrenaline rush. At around I p.m. we had to bid farewell to the Nehru science centre.
