  Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education (HBCSE), TIFR

  May 2021 - Jul 2021

  Intern

  As part of an internship with the Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education (HBCSE) Design and Technology department, I collaborated on a project aimed at creating a comprehensive framework to mainstream design thinking in science education. The objective of the project was to provide educators with a practical guide to incorporate design thinking methodologies into their classrooms, with a primary focus on developing a framework tailored to the Indian context and emphasizing the application of design thinking principles for brainstorming and analyzing solutions.Through this project, I leveraged the expertise of the HBCSE Design and Technology department to develop and refine the framework, which empowers educators to foster creative problem-solving skills and nurture a culture of innovation among students. This work was motivated by a desire to bridge the gap between science education and practical problem-solving skills, and to provide educators with tools to inspire the next generation of innovators.Overall, this project provided me with a unique opportunity to apply my skills in research, analysis, and collaboration towards a meaningful objective, and to contribute to the advancement of science education in India.

  IGCSE Physics and Cambridge Lower Secondary Teacher

  As an IGCSE Physics and Cambridge Lower Secondary Science teacher with a dedicated three-year journey, I've been committed to transforming the way science is perceived and learned. Embracing an inquiry-driven approach, I empower students with hands-on activities, experiments, and a historical understanding of science. My philosophy goes beyond teaching science as a mere product; I strive to instill the understanding of science as a dynamic process. By encouraging students to question, explore, and embrace curiosity, inventiveness, skepticism, and research skills, I aim to shape scientifically literate individuals.Believing in the profound impact of scientific literacy on personal and academic life, I advocate for its role in nurturing better societies and nations.Outside the classroom, my responsibilities extend to coordinating weekly STEM activities, organizing enriching field trips, managing physics and science labs, fostering scientific temper, mentoring students, and crafting effective assessment tools for enhanced learning experiences.
