On October 4th, the Junior High School in Duriyai, Noida was a canvas of excitement as we celebrated “Impact Together” month, thanks to our amazing partners at Capgemini! In partnership with Aadhaar Association, this inspiring event aimed to engage students and enrich their learning environment.
Our day began with a warm welcome from the bright-eyed students, excited to meet Mr. Puneet Karnani from Capgemini. They greeted him with colorful handmade cards and imaginative creations crafted from recycled materials, showcasing their creativity and enthusiasm. The school principal, Mrs. Rajesh Sharma, along with the STEAM in-charge, Mrs. Smita, also greeted Mr. Puneet with enthusiasm, highlighting the immense support Aadhaar Association provides, made possible by Capgemini’s contributions. Puneet introduced himself and shared valuable insights about Capgemini, then inquired about the inspiring stories behind Aadhaar Association’s transformative work. This sparked a lively discussion, igniting enthusiasm and curiosity among the students. Their eyes lit up as they exchanged stories about their learning journeys—proof that when passion meets purpose, incredible things unfold!
Then came the highlight of the day: a vibrant collaborative painting extravaganza! With brushes in hand and laughter echoing in the air, students, Puneet, and dedicated school staff transformed plain walls into a stunning mural bursting with color and creativity. The theme focused on cyber safety and security, but as the artists got to work, they embraced the essence of STEAM, seamlessly blending the principles of STEM with the arts.
In this creative space, they crafted posters that embodied the pillars of inquiry—Ask, Imagine, Plan, Create, and Improve. Each stroke of paint told a story, reflecting the dreams and aspirations of these talented young minds, turning the school walls into a true testament to their imagination and teamwork.
As the murals came to life, the students gathered to showcase their hidden talents. From enchanting dance performances to lively discussions about their extracurricular activities, it was a celebration of creativity in all its forms! Puneet was thoroughly impressed by the warm spirit of the students and the incredible energy of the school staff.
Later, the school management, alongside the Aadhaar team, expressed their heartfelt gratitude to Capgemini and Mr. Puneet for their invaluable time and unwavering support. Their contributions have truly made a lasting impact on the students and the school community.
This event was more than just painting; it was a vibrant reminder of the power of community and collaboration. Together, we’re not just creating a beautiful space; we’re inspiring a future filled with creativity and learning!
