Loyola Technology Centre, Bannerghatta Road
On 5th February 2025, educators from Loyola Technology Centre (LTC),
Mr Stephen K. Nebu and Ms Harshitha R, visited Loyola High School,
Bannerghatta Road, to engage with students and introduce them to the exciting
world of hands-on science. The visit aimed to inspire creativity and curiosity
while exploring potential future collaborations between LTC and the school.
Upon their arrival, the educators were warmly welcomed by school principals,
Fr Jerald Furtado and Ms Gracy along with the coordinator Mr Suraj. Their
hospitality set the stage for an interactive and engaging session.
The class, a mix of Kannada and English medium students, was introduced to
the basics of electricity by Mr Stephen K. Nebu. The students were taught about
open and closed circuits and guided through the process of constructing their
own basic circuit systems. The hands-on activity required students to build a
closed circuit using batteries and buzzers, followed by a “match the following”
puzzle that challenged them to apply their learning.
The session was full of energy as students worked together in teams, helping
one another and actively teaching their peers when they encountered challenges.
The classroom buzzed with enthusiasm as students made mistakes, asked
questions, and creatively solved problems.
At the end of the activity, each student received a buzzer, battery, and battery
holder to encourage them to continue building circuits and exploring science
through fun, independent projects. The interactive session achieved its goal of
fostering creative thinking, curiosity, and collaboration among students.
Following the class, the LTC educators had a constructive discussion with the
school leadership about the potential to integrate LTC programmes into the
school's curriculum. The conversation included ideas for setting up a dedicated
classroom for LTC activities, creating a centre of excellence to encourage
students to participate in competitive exams and interschool competitions.
The event proved to be a significant step towards fostering a strong partnership
between Loyola Technology Centre and Loyola High School, with both parties
eager to continue working together to enhance the educational experience for
students.
