Back to a Summer School

Hello everybody,
I had promised people that I would put up the National Science Day movies & pics on the net, but since the 28th Feb celebrations, things have been running at a hectic pace. Many decisions to be taken regarding the coming academic year and the ongoing exams took all of my time. Besides I have to prepare for the next National Astronomy Olympiad scheduled to happen in May. So all you 9th & 11th Std students will have to wait a while longer...
In fact some of you could help me make a proper video out of the 30-odd min film I took at the NSD. This could be a good summer activity.
So here we are with the summer vacations and the Summer School 2007. If the prospect of being at school the whole of April sounds too boring to you, do check out the plans this year. I am sure something or the other might interest you. For the uninitiated the SS 2007 is an activity where students of secondary & higher secondary participate in various research & work experience projects for about 20 days under the guidance of someone from the school or an expert from outside. Basically its objectives are three-fold:
  1. To allow students to try their hands at real life jobs so as to be able to check out possible career options
  2. To distract the staff from regular drudgery and allow them to try teaching new courses, so as to polish the skills they had learnt a while ago but never had a chance to use.
  3. To be a test-bench for various ideas which could be later employed in regular schooling under the aegis of our Activity-Based Learning Program

So here's your chance to do something useful and interesting this summer. Hope to see you on Tuesday the 3rd of April to finalize enrollment. The Summer School begins on the 5th.

Annual Day 2023

By
 After a long hiatus due to covid we finally got most activities on track. The Annual Day function is always a big deal for everyone at Abhinav. It has been a tradition my mother started that the Annual Day will be not a Teacher-managed event, but a Student Initiative. Since when I was a teenager, I was part of this and today 10 years after she passed, I still strive to make it work as she would have. After some hesitation, we began working in early January. I wanted to use an outside choreographer just so that teachers will not be burdened. (They are already struggling with post-covid learning difficulties) But then, an outside guy could never do justice to the Abhinav style of doing things. We always keep in mind that the cultural program should be enjoyable to everyone in the audience and at the same time should display as many of the diverse talents that our students have, as possible.  It was a great relief that my G3 students came to the rescue. Almost all of std 9 and m...

Expression Calculator in Java

By
Std X CA students: Here is another assignment to be finished before Thursday 24th Apr, 2014, 8 am. Reverse engineer the application I have posted at the FB group - Expression Caculator . i.e. 1. download the file and save in the root of c-drive 2. run it in command prompt using "java -jar c:\exprcalc.jar" 3. enter various expressions to compute like 2 + 3 = (then enter) 4. once you type '=' and a white space and enter, it displays the result. 5. You can take a long expression like 7.5562 / 7.889 + 5 - 12.67 = (then enter) 6. You can type another expression after the result for the previous is shown. 7. It also handles errors well. Figure out the code and paste your answers here as a comment. Hint: It uses a blank for loop ... i.e. for (;;) { here goes the code }to repeat taking many numbers one after the other.
