CURIOSITY PROJECT

At SLS-NOIDA, we believe better creativity comes from exposure to many, varied pockets of knowledge. To increase cross-disciplinary exposure at SLS-NOIDA, has taken initial steps by reducing the boundaries between the various courses by launching ‘The Curiosity Project’.

It is the first of its kind where online systems have been used for meaningful administrative automation and improved learning methodologies. Teachers and students are encouraged to share their classroom notes, presentations, interesting links to articles on the web, and links to captivating videos on a private repository called "The Library". Also, The Banyan Tree, an application that employs the Flipped Classroom concept regularly where doubts, questions for general debate, and polls are posed on, assists us in making teaching and learning an interactive and ongoing process, not restricted to the traditional class room but much beyond it. The Amphitheatre, an application that tracks official notices and events at the campus; Attendance and Evaluations, an application that assists learners and parents to keep close track of their performance in attendance and tests to keep improving.
