The learning experiences at Rathinam International Public School (RPS) are a blend of academics, technology, hands-on, project-based learning and creative experiences.
Digital classrooms, Exposure to AI and Robotics, interdisciplinary projects and Innovation & Design Thinking Lab are all part of the school’s approach.
What is a New-Age Classroom?
A new-age classroom is a combination of technology, creativity, collaboration and real learning.
In modern learning, students are not only required to remember, but to ask questions, consider ideas, try solutions, and apply what they have learned.
RPS adopts a student-centred learning model which is complemented by technology, projects and practical activities.
Skills Developed Through Practical Learning
Learning Experience | Skills Students Can Build |
Project-Based Learning | Research, problem-solving, collaboration |
Robotics & AI | Logical thinking, creativity, technology awareness |
Design Thinking | Innovation, ideation, solution building |
Digital Learning | Digital literacy, information skills |
Group Activities | Communication, teamwork, leadership |
Creative Learning | Expression, imagination, confidence |
Robotics: Where Technology Meets Curiosity
In RPS, Artificial Intelligence and Robotics is integrated in the ATL where students have opportunities to explore emerging technologies. The school has also established an academic alliance for robot training.
Why Robotics Matters
Rather than learning about technology, students are afforded opportunities to learn about how technology works and how technology can be used to problem solve.
Real-World Projects Make Learning Meaningful
Project based learning helps students relate the concepts they learn to situations in the real world.
Interdisciplinary projects at RPS allows students to integrate knowledge from various disciplines while investigating the implications of the real world.
For instance, a project can consist of:
Identifying a problem → Researching it → Developing an idea → Creating a solution → Testing it → Presenting the outcome
Digital Classrooms for a Changing World
Technology is being integrated into virtually a whole host of professions.
RPS is bringing technology into classroom learning with digital classrooms and blended learning. Students also have exposure to AI, digital projects and activities using technology.
Learning With Technology
Digital Learning Element | How It Supports Students |
Digital Classrooms | Makes lessons more interactive |
Blended Learning | Combines classroom and digital learning |
AI Exposure | Introduces students to emerging technology |
Digital Projects | Encourages research and creativity |
Technology-Based Activities | Connects learning with practical applications |
Design Thinking: Ideas into solutions.
The Innovation & Design Thinking lab provides students an opportunity to experiment, explore and evolve ideas and solutions.
In design thinking, students are required to really understand the problem before finding solutions.
Playing and learning together
Through play and teamwork, too, learning can take place.
Games can encourage students to learn and strategically play. Students get opportunities to interact with each other, exchange ideas, and collaborate to achieve a common goal in collaborative learning.
Why New-Age Learning Matters
The unique combination of robotics exposure, project-based learning, digital classrooms, design thinking and creative learning, at RPS, makes learning more engaging.
Conclusion
Robotics can help students get introduced to new technologies. Design thinking can promote innovation. Creative activities can foster confidence and expression.
These are used in Rathinam International Public School to complement learning in the classroom to help students grow. A new-age classroom is not just technologically advanced equipment, it’s a story of thought, fearless discovery, confident production and the inquiring mind.
