Objective: Engage the students with a lots of activities, under expert guidance. These activities are designed to promote English reading , comprehension, vocabulary and logical thinking.
Activity Description: Volunteer team will travel to a school assigned to you. Each volunteer will be assigned a group of 4-5 students. Volunteers will read a pre-assigned illustrated story with students, using laptops brought by volunteers, ask them questions, create story related activities. As a group, you could interact with the entire class after the event assisted by a facilitator. After the story session, students will answer a short quiz using digital tablets available at school. Volunteers use their laptops and data connection to help with the exercise. After the event, students/volunteers share experience both from the day as well as any relevant life experiences.
Number of Volunteers: For a given school, a minimum of 10 volunteers, maximum of 20 volunteers can participate engaging 40 to 100 students at a time. If there are more volunteers, they need to split among different schools.
Objective: Create interesting and unique activity based learning for students both in Science and Mathematics. The models/kits produced will not only be fun but also inculcate a different way of thinking and understanding Science and Mathematics concepts.
Activity Description: Volunteers make Science and Mathematics kits in their own offices on a given date. Based on instructions provided earlier, volunteers bring in common stationery or pre-printed material to the office. Under an expert’s guidance, the models are made, packaged as kits. OSAAT will collect them and later distribute to select schools.
Number of Volunteers: A Table of volunteers will have 4-5 employees working as a team, preparing 2-3 kits in a span of hour or two. Depending on the number of volunteers available, and the amount of time you can spare for this (typically half a day), multiple kits of different types can be created. Exact number of kits, the type, can be determined based on a conversation with OSAAT faciltator who will discuss with a team lead of your office to help prepare for this volunteering activity.
