Whiteboard school initiative, in association with KCS Foundation, has partnered with Vidya Vatika to offer free science lab access to government school students in after school hours.
We are thrilled to announce that Mohammed Miqdad Hussain, the founder of Whiteboard Schools initiative for promoting STEAM subjects in rural areas, has received the prestigious Diana Award for his outstanding contribution to social change and education. The Diana Award is the highest accolade a young person can achieve for humanitarian efforts. It is given in memory of Diana, Princess of Wales, who believed that young people have the power to change the world for the better.
Whiteboard Schools is an initiative that aims to provide interactive and engaging learning experiences for students in rural areas through the use of whiteboards, projectors, laptops and internet connectivity. The initiative also trains teachers and mentors to deliver effective and innovative lessons in science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) subjects. Whiteboard Schools believes that every child deserves a chance to explore their curiosity and creativity, and to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills that will prepare them for the future.
As a part of this initiative, we are delighted to share that VVPS is offering free access to our state-of-the-art science lab to the secondary level students from government schools in collaboration with Whiteboard Schools and KCS Foundation. This is a unique opportunity for the students to conduct hands-on experiments and learn from our experienced and qualified faculty members. The students will also get to interact with their peers from different backgrounds and cultures, and exchange ideas and perspectives. We hope that this will inspire them to pursue their interests and aspirations in STEAM fields, and to become leaders and changemakers in their communities.
We are proud of Mohammed Miqdad Hussain and his team for their remarkable achievements and impact. We are also grateful to our partners Whiteboard Schools and KCS Foundation for their support and collaboration. We look forward to welcoming the students to our campus and providing them with a memorable and enriching learning experience.
