The Quill Freadom Story Telling session - Grade 1-3 Usually, Summer was the time for schools to relax for a bit. But this year, it was different. There was a deficit in learning because of online learning for a whole year. Some children were really behind their class. And in the Summer break, what if they fall behind even more in their language skills? With this thought, the NGPSchool offered a free Reading Application : FReadom app from stones2milestones for the students of class 1 to 8 in the month of May,2021. Our philosophy is simple - a child who reads is an independent learner and performs better in academics and in professional life. With reading, comes true freedom. With the increased number of users of this FReadom App, Stones2milestones hosted exclusive storytelling sessions for students of grade 1 to 5 on June28th and 29th,2021. Reading still continues ! Teachers handling the primary classes of The NGP school participated in a 2 hour workshop on the Art of Storytelling by CLUB1BR of stonestomilestones as a part of the capacity building program for 2021-22. Here are a few glimpses from the session. THE NGP SCHOOL | SEPTEMBER EDITION 2021-22

The Quill Hackath n The story behind Tamilnadu's first intra-school hackathon In the era of computational thinking, modern problems require modern solutions.The pandemic hit hard on us. The economy is exploding and working on linearizing the COVID 19 cases graph. Human resources with prediction and analytical skills work hard in controlling the COVID 19. But employment of an Automated Pandemic Management System which renders all the statistics with the data provided using Machine Learning, Data Science and Artificial Intelligence to implement a successful Standard Operating Procedure and cease the graph's growth in a short period is the best method that is both economically feasible and practically possible. The idea evolved when I competed in a hackathon conducted by IIT Madras. There I learned many things regarding the relation between prediction and coding. The concept of the hackathon fascinated me.Later, I discussed the same with my teammate Anish, and I realised that we both were on the same page. THE NGP SCHOOL | SEPTEMBER EDITION 2021-22
Hackath nThe Quill The story behind Tamilnadu's first intra-school hackathon We began working in early May. The Time when the pandemic was at peak. So, we discussed the practical ways to organize a COVID based hackathon. Then we concluded that the human resources that can predict the daily new cases, daily new recovered and daily new deaths with the lowest mean error has a highly predictive mind which can be beneficial in generating guidelines to control COVID. It will also increase awareness among the people. Irrespective of the programming background, people with or without coding knowledge participated in the hackathon. We made a primitive plan and consulted the principal. We had several brainstorming sessions and finally drafted a plan. www.studiesoverloaded.com. This was the platform where we worked- suitable to conduct the hackathon. We also made a registration form and the submission forms that the participants used to submit their predictions. We also needed the dataset - the table of past one year COVID data necessary to predict the future which were available in the government website archives. THE NGP SCHOOL | SEPTEMBER EDITION 2021-22
Hackath nThe Quill The story behind Tamilnadu's first intra-school hackathon But sorting them for the requisite information was hectic. We brought in our wonderful data analyst classmates, Joshika, Lingeshwaran and Subash Mohan to help us in that job. We were working on building the dataset and backend verification to give access to the competition page. We designed the invitation for the event and all of us were geared up ready to face the wave of incoming registrations for the event. We called in for an introductory session and explained every aspect of the event and its learning outcomes. The registrations started on 17 May 2021and ended on 22 May 2021. The results were calculated using another platform which made our work a cakewalk. Finally, we had all the results with us and we called for an Awarding ceremony on 29 May 2021. We had already designed the certificates and the winners were announced. This whole process has been a fun and an interesting journey for us where we learnt many things. One, Event management and the other being smart work.The NGP Hackathon - 2k21 was a successful venture and we are happy that we were the organizers of Tamilnadu's first Intra-School Hackathon THE NGP SCHOOL | SEPTEMBER EDITION 2021-22

Online Summer school on The Quill Usefulness of Remote Sensing & GIS for Environmental Studies What could mean more than a certificate from one of the best space organisations in the world? Yes, ISRO along with the Indian Institute of Remote Sensing (IIRS), Dehradun conducted a 5-day students-only program - ‘Summer School on usefulness of Remote Sensing & GIS for Environmental Studies’. This online workshop was conducted from 26 July 2021 to 31 July 2021. There were different videos explaining different topics in an intelligible way. Every day, there were two sessions of about one hour that completely focused on the topic and gave us an in-depth understanding. We were provided with video lectures, both on YouTube and on the website so that we can watch them anytime we want. Along with the video lectures, we were also provided with the study material for each topic. We attempted quizzes every day which had questions from the topic which was taken on that particular day. Doubts about the live lectures were cleared at the end of each session. We were allotted 10 minutes of time where we could clarify our doubts in the live chat section.

Online Summer school on The Quill Usefulness of Remote Sensing & GIS for Environmental Studies If we had missed the live lecture, there was also a forum called ‘Discussion’ where we can clear our doubts. The website was very much easy to use and we did not face any kind of serious trouble in studying the topics. At the end of the course, students who scored 55% and above were awarded certificates. This shows that there was no room for those who only wanted the certificate and did not intend to acquire knowledge. I wish ISRO conducts many more such workshops in the future. I thank my school management for providing us with such opportunities. -- Anish P XII, The NGP School THE NGP SCHOOL | SEPTEMBER EDITION 2021-22

And so, with eager and enthusiastic smiles plastered on their faces, students from grades 9 to 12 lined up for various posts ranging from the house captains to school pupil leaders. Level-headed and confident, each with various promises and ideas of their own, signed up for posts which they felt they were most suited for, and that's when it began : The student council election. Eagerly waiting to know if they went past the first round and were nominated, and sure enough the results came out soon and the most interesting part came, the Election campaign. Given that this was the first year the student council was going to take place online, the candidates had to come up with ideas that would benefit students this digital year. Having attended online classes for a year and knowing what everyone wanted from the perspective of a student, they racked their brains to come up with ideas that would benefit the students and ultimately gain their support as well. To say that the candidates were creative with their ideas, would be an understatement. THE NGP SCHOOL | SEPTEMBER EDITION 2021-22

The Quill MY BEST FRIEND My best friend’s name is Sahharra. She is my cousin and my best friend. She is caring, and always helps me a lot. I met her as soon as I was born, and from then on she became my bestie. She is a true friend, and shares toys and anything else that I need. Whenever we meet, we play a lot of games and do funny stuff together. We learnt so many things during this lockdown. We learnt to sweep the floor and help our moms in the kitchen. We also learnt how to plant seeds, and water them. During this lockdown, I also talk to her through video calls to share things about our studies, and a lot more. I love her a lot! Thanks for being my best friend! BY: A.Sai Dhanvi Class- 2C MY BEST FRIEND IS MY DAD! I like my dad very much. I will share everything with him. I feel like a rainbow when I am with him.

He is my role model. I want to stay with him always. By, S.K. Prajin Class- 1B THE NGP SCHOOL | SEPTEMBER EDITION 2021-22

The Quill MY F ATHER IS MY HERO! I like my father so much, and my father also likes me very much. He gives a lot of advice to me.
