‘Teach for Vellore’ is an initiative taken by ISTE (Indian Society for Technical Education) to spread practical, technical know-how to the children in the schools of Vellore. We as students want to help these children by teaching them skills that will be useful for them further down the line. We aim to majorly impart knowledge to the children between the age group of 11-15 years. The basic module
that we would be teaching each set of students will be specifically designed to make it a fun learning process for them. We aim at covering two basic areas, namely science and communication skills. Within each module we intend to teach:
• Basics of Physics in everyday life (how electricity works, why ice floats on water, how does water get sucked in through a straw, how does it rain, why does a thermos keep beverages hot/cold etc.)
• Basics of manual robotics for interested students
• Basic communication skills through tasks and exercises to improve their English speaking skills and enable them to confidently interact with people further on in their lives.
• Career Counselling, exposing the students to the different career opportunities which can be made available to them.
‘Teach for Vellore’ is a platform for deserving students who do not have the amenities and resources but have a thirst for knowledge and we would like to contribute towards this in every way we can. We hope for your full support in this endeavour.
