Shri M M Kothari STEAM Quest Ingenious – 2022



With ordinary talent and extraordinary perseverance, all things are attainable. When you exercise your talents, they multiply. To unleash the latent talent and hidden reservoir of organisational skill of our young Kotharians, we conceptualised this mega event the ‘Shri M M Kothari STEAM Quest, Ingenious - 2022’. The holding of the FEST is an endeavor to initiate the collaborative working of students.

The platform launched, is a dream actualized by the leaders of Kothari International School. Students have worked tirelessly from the very inception of the concept. They have envisioned, conceived, created and will now execute the entire Fest on their ‘own steam’ with Teachers guiding them where needed .

The ‘Shri M M Kothari STEAM Quest, Ingenious - 2022’ is a mega FEST with an array of events/ activities to challenge every aspect of a growing child. The Fest includes Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics. This Event will give wings and flight to creativity, innovation and skill. As the Core Team, we believe that no talent can ever be eclipsed. We are united in our endeavour and resolve to give full support to our young leaders in their undaunting effort to make this FEST a success story.

We wait with bated breath, to witness every participant achieve a milestone, the memory of which will inspire and motivate them for the next. We are beyond impressed with the sheer dynamism, drive and dedication of our ‘ingenious’ students as they display their energy and enthusiasm in organizing this event.

FROM THE CHAIRPERSON'S DESK

It gives me immense pleasure to know this hallowed institution is raising the bar yet again with the announcement of the ‘Shri M M Kothari STEAM Quest, Ingenious - 2022’, an Inter-School Technical, Linguistic, Cultural and Academic Festival that celebrates – Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics – enough to power the engine of all its participants with the requisite energy and gusto. STEAM also empowers our ‘ingenious’ and prospective unicorns to see the light of the day with advertising its special E-Commerce forum, an initiative that will ignite fiery thought-processes that will spur the economic charts of the country. And to know that it is happening in July, that special month of the year when we celebrate Founder’s Day, in memory of Shri M.M. Kothari, our Beloved Babuji, Honourable Founder of this esteemed institution, that one towering personality who stood head and shoulders above the rest in terms of a vision that he dreamt of, a vision that continues to fuel each inmate of the KIS fraternity, a vision that has stood the test of time in terms of an all-round growth of its young citizens, ensuring that no latent talent goes unnoticed, no budding desire gets extinguished, no willing mind and spirit is discouraged, then one can only sit back in humility and gratitude at our Founder’s vision. ‘Shri M M Kothari STEAM Quest, Ingenious - 2022’, intends to provide a robust platform for a myriad range of infinite talent. Three cheers for that! “There is a force more powerful than steam and electricity: the will.”

On this note, my BEST WISHES and BLESSINGS to TEAM KIS!!
Warm regards
Arti Kothari

“Education is the key to unlocking the world, a passport to freedom.”
--Oprah Winfrey
It is a matter of great delight and immense satisfaction to note that Kothari International School has embarked upon this exciting journey of Inter-School Competitiveness by firing one of the first salvos this Academic Session, the 'Shri M M Kothari STEAM Quest, Ingenious - 2022', that will test the Inter-Disciplinary Excellence and preparedness of its fellow competitors in the Field of Education and Learning. What this Festival-de-Coup - STEAM strives to do is to ignite the Scientific and Technological temper of young India as also fan their Engineering, Artistic and Mathematical skills to the core. Surely success will be ours when we aim to provide equal and effective opportunities of active collaboration, aspire for an all-round holistic development of the children, sharpen their critical, logical and analytical thinking, polish their managerial acumen and drill into them a business sense of mind. Over and above all of this, ingrain in them a sense of healthy competition that doesn’t disintegrate into winning at all costs. Also what stands out like an oasis in this desert of cut-throat rivalries is the fact the Students of the Host School will not be descending upon this heated arena like warring warriors but as peaceful participants who will taste the flavour of the dish but never to satiate their yearning to score a bull’s eye. When the 'Shri M M Kothari STEAM Quest, Ingenious - 2022' , intends to provide a never-before experience to all, then to Team KIS I say, stride confidently and march on.

God Bless!! Congratulations KIS and we have only just begun to warm up!!
Warm regards

FROM THE PRINCIPAL'S DESK

In the 21st century, empowering our Students to give way to a transformative and revolutionary future must be the paramount vision of the educational realm. Dwelling in today’s world, we do not know what or how the future jobs will be; however, it is a pivotal need to educate students with the skills and the capacity to think out of the box with creative and successful solutions to surmount the unprecedented times. This is the goal that STEAM Education can effectively prepare our Students for. The system of standardized learning has been prevailing in the Indian Education System for many years. This system does not focus extensively on teaching Students how to solve real world problems and is not interdisciplinary and collaborative in nature. On the contrary, STEAM is an Educational Discipline that kindles interest, ignites the embers and results in a lifelong love of the Arts and the Sciences in Students from the foundational years. The amalgamation of Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics involve the creative processes that use inquiry and investigation. Teaching cutting-edge skills will undeniably prepare students to become innovators in an ever-evolving world, not only for the future of the students themselves but for the future of the world. STEAM empowers teachers to employ the experiential learning that entails each of the five disciplines and fosters an inclusive learning environment in which all students are able to engage and contribute effectively. Therefore, we must promote an integrated trans-disciplinary approach of teaching and learning and to emphasise the same, the school is initiating its first STEAM Inter School Event - ‘Shri M M Kothari STEAM Quest, Ingenious - 2022.’

“Integration is a basic law of life; when we resist it, disintegration is the natural result, both inside and outside of us. Thus, we come to the concept of harmony through integration.” - Norman Cousins

FROM THE VICE PRINCIPAL'S DESK


With the ever-changing world and society, evolution in the field of Education is also paramount. The STEAM Education not only allows teachers to apply the new methods of teaching through Project Based Learning but also engages and promotes students to think out of the box and imbibe these interdisciplinary learning experiences. STEAM Education helps in developing practical skills. Students develop the capacity to take risks, become resilient problem solvers, innovate, collaborate and seek creative solutions to real life problems. ‘Shri M M Kothari STEAM Quest, Ingenious - 2022’ is a Student-led Three - Day Mega Event which will not only host an array of Events based on Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics but also tap several spaces for Students to rediscover themselves. It will challenge the technical prowess of the Students and evoke innovation thus reflecting and defining a revolutionary path breaking process in the Educational System. Kothari International School has always supported and encouraged a new vision and a perspective, especially when it originates from our Students. We are more than eager to implement their vision and help them shape this event to reach unsurpassed heights. “Finally, never stop learning as it can be tough to thrive in a fast-paced industry. By keeping your skills sharp, not only will you strengthen your confidence, but your credibility with others too.”

"Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That’s because they were able to connect experiences they’ve had and synthesise new things." - Steve Jobs
