“Building Brains with Building Structures” is the main premise of BlockBusters course. The building kits used in this course have been imported from US and include interesting parts that are not commonly available to kids at home. The building parts have joints, sockets, balls and many other things that proved to retain the attention of the students at all times. Interesting models were chosen for the students on the basis of an incremental learning curve, thereby starting from basic models and eventually leading to complex structures. The students started their course with the comprehension of the modeling techniques through basic shapes including cubes, triangles and thus being able to structure Eifel Tower, swords, humanoid etc towards the end of the program. Alongside modeling techniques, knowledge regarding motors, motion sensors and power units was also given to make the students aware of the basic technology of robots. Motion sensing windmill, train engine dragging a lorry, boat and car were modeled with the students that became exciting experi-ences for the young minds and the limelight of their day at school.

The logical skills that can be learnt with modeling structures are unmatchable as this hands-on learning experience bears wonderful and immediate results for the child. The building parts, which have been imported from US, are coupled with motion sensors, geared motors and power units. Complex structures, such as a knight shield, galactic bat, robotic legs and arms etc were made with the students while welcoming the integration of their creative ideas in the models. Apart from structures, greater attention was paid to the automation of struc-tures with motors and sensors to develop small robots. T-Rex dinosaur robot was the highlight of the robotic module that created much excitement among the students. Other robotic models included, motion sensing goal kicker, Ferris wheel, customized car model, reptile and a helicopter. This level of exposure to simple robots has proved to develop sound reasoning and confidence with technology among the students. The level of achievement and excite-ment of the students upon the correct functioning of a robot has been worth witnessing!

Paintingto the Tunes

The intertwining of sensory experiences is called synaesthesia. In Painting to the Tunes, we strive to celebrate this rare neurological condition. Children give form to the various tunes and musical compositions through bursts of colour. Their task is to respond to rhythm and melody without any conscious deliberation. Hence, their work is defined by sensations felt within them and indelible impressions left by each serendipitous encounter with a musical composition or a sensory experience.Painting to the Tunes is designed not so much as a place for great art to be created but a forum for the insightful exploration of colour. A culture of freedom and dynamicity is key in order to stimulate children’s creativity and cultivate their aesthetic sense. In this class they are unencumbered by paint brushes, traditional techniques and rules. This freedom enables them to express the mental model of not only their outer world but their inner (abstract world), which they form through imagination and emotive experience. And while there is a refreshing unpredictability attached to the whole process, thorough arrangement and calculation goes into the execution of each piece.

RCThe overwhelming demand of robotics at Haque Academy led to the introduction of junior robotics for lower grades in this academic year. It did not take long for the students to gain effective knowledge about the mechanics and techniques of making LEGO WeDo robots. The learning curve included basic models in the beginning of the course that taught them the mechanics of gears and thus, combination of gears working together to create more complex models. Alongside modeling of the robot from scratch, robot programming skills were also taught that helped to develop logical reasoning among the students and the ability to view things in a systematic manner. Different themes were chosen for the program, such as animal theme including the development of motion sensing alligator, tilt sensing lion, sound sensing drumming monkey and a dancing bird. Rescue themed robots were also developed with the students. The program ended with few original designs of robots to facilitate crea-tive thinking and self-exploration of the available kits, such as a windmill, card sensing guarding system etc.

iBOTix Grade 5 This course offered an amazing opportunity for our students to practically experience STEM - science, technology, engineering and mathemat-ics concept. While creating, programming and observing the robot behavior they develop teamwork, problem solving, critical thinking and analytical skills. They focused on learning robot behavior using a variety of sensors in a fun way. They also applied their own ideas to test the physical concepts of force, motion and mathematical calculations to produce a particular robot functionality.

iBOTix Grade 6This course is the transition towards learning advanced concepts where our experienced students and new enrols collaborated, shared their knowledge and experience. They came up with a variety of robot which were climbing ramps, fighting sumos, scribbling on the display, and con-trolling other robots via blue tooth connectivity.

Funwith Film

Seeing your own creation come to life on a small tablet screen or ultimately on a thirty by seventy foot cinema screen is an exhilarating experience and one which requires teamwork. The craft of filmmaking is nothing more than a collaborative art which brings people together and it is some-thing which everyone can do, even with limited equipment.

Telling stories through films gives young minds a “voice” that is expressive, vibrant, and visually engaging. Apart from team effort, it is essential for any filmmaker to have the determination to see the project through while avoiding pitfalls like actors’ tantrums, rodents eating through lighting cables, and citywide strikes to name a few!

I do believe that we all have stories to tell and filmmaking in the media-rich world of today has made it even easier for budding directors to bring to limelight awe-inspiring films. Lights! Camera! Action!-- Syed Shabbir Siraj

App&GameDevelopment

The level of interest in application development in the current times resulted in the launch of this course. During this course, the students gained knowledge regarding different phases of application and game de-velopment that are followed in a professional environment. Exposure to such knowledge and programming techniques made them appreciate the efforts that are demanded even in the development of a simple app. Alongside application development techniques, Java scripting was also taught to the students to intro-duce the concept of programming and functions. An interesting mystery game has also been developed with the students that involved variable programming skills. This game was converted as a web application to serve as the basis of a web app for smart phones. The course has ended with the fruitful result of publishing an application on the Apple App Store. It can be found in the iTunes store with the title ‘PK Emergency Kit’; it includes 24/7 emergency contact numbers for few cities of Pakistan, alongside Google locations of hospitals. It can be downloaded on iPhones and iPads. It is currently being downloaded by users from around the globe. Mystery game web app is also in the process of getting published on the iTunes App Store.Asma Sikandar

Students of App n Game Development worked on application develop-ment for smartphones, alongside the implementation of mystery games and virtual tours. One of the applications that was kept as the basis of the learning process was an emergency application that includes 24/7 acces-sible phone numbers for fire, crime, medical and bomb threat emergen-cies for some of the cities of Pakistan. It is integrated with Google Maps to highlight the location of hospitals in the respective cities, as well as records ICE (incase of emergency number) for the phone owner. The students are excited to announce that their application ‘PK Emergency Kit’ has been approved by Apple and it is available on the App Store. The web applica-tion of the mystery game is also in the process of being published.
