AI Workshop
Volunteer and tech expert Atul Pant introduced Isha Vidhya Erode students to AI tools and showed how they work with simple, effective prompts. Hands-on exposure to emerging AI technologies showed how learning can be more interactive, creative, and easier to grasp.

Thanks to @OurELBA, I conducted a workshop at @ncs6th for a group of amazing year-12 students. Explained emerging trends, job polarisation, need for right skills, dispositions, adaptability & self-awareness - for a joyful life and Ikigai. Introduced Scratch, mBlock & micro:bit.
Privilege to collaborate with @TimelessSkills on a workshop around Robotics, AI and life skills today with students from @ncs6th "The future is exciting"
Really a pleasant surprise when earlier today none other than @SadhguruJV himself saw and complimented the students from Isha Vidhya school in Erode for their robotics initiative, based on workshops conducted earlier this week by @TimelessSkills at their school.
@microbit_edu Foundation has published a blog post on the workshops conducted by Timeless Lifeskills at rural schools in India earlier this year

At today's remote-mentoring session on introduction to MakeCode and micro:bit with the students of SDSN school in a village near Raebareli, India, we end the session with the students quizzing Alexa (at my home in London). Good fun!
Thrilled that students at this rural Indian school I work with, put their knowledge and Tinkering Club equipment to good use in finding out more about the real-world issue of water contamination in a nearby village. https://t.co/HoHTkZhUZv
You know things are progressing in the right direction when a young student from a village up in the Himalayas calls you on your London mobile and says, "Sir, drone banaya tha par udaa nahin." (Sir, I had made a drone but it did not fly). Fired-up yearning for learning!
How to Become a Better Learner? This article is a brief overview of what research studies are telling us about encoding and retrieval of information, memory decay, note-taking, revision techniques, illusion of knowing and more.

@scrtsprstr@TimelessSkills This is great. We are organising a 3-day Learning Fest (Nov 26-28) at a rural school near Raebareli (2-hour drive from Lucknow) and a workshop on Design Thinking, Entrepreneurship, Social-Entrepreneurship will be great. Will any of your batchmates be keen? Pro-bono of course :-)
To help the rural Indian schools my charity @TimelessSkills works with, this post explains how participation in challenges like the #microbitGlobalChallenge leads to deeper comprehension, by letting students apply their acquired knowledge in novel contexts https://t.co/bqFq0hHNsu
@scrtsprstr@TimelessSkills Thanks! Yes, I am prodding them. We are talking about first-generation learners and even the teachers in rural areas think their students participating in national or global competitions is a tall order. But we will get there :-)
Timeless Lifeskills offers fun ways of learning skills essential for success & joyful living in the 21st-century. This video explains the rationale for starting life skills clubs and tinkering labs in schools that offer hands-on, project-based learning. https://t.co/FoQZv3TCqY
Attended #Londonraspberryjam today. Made new friends and feeling inspired. Here's a short slideshow of photos from the Micro:Bit & Robotics workshops I conducted in rural schools in India this summer.
I conducted a workshop on Entrepreneurial Dispositions and Fear of Failure for a diverse group of professionals, in London today. https://t.co/xZ3rDskGEo
