Chandigarh 06th September:- Chandrayaan 2, launched on July 22nd,
is a momentous mission for India and the one unlike any before. India's second
lunar expedition is a scientific marvel and will shed light on a completely
unexplored South Polar Region of the Moon. Today’s generation, especially
children, are fascinated by the mission and dream of exploring the space. The
mission will create a history when it lands on Moon on September 7th.
On this occasion, Pidilite, under the
aegis of Fevicreate programme, aims to reach 100000 students across 650 schools
in 25 cities and provide them a platform to experience and learn about Chandrayaan and
the space. Fevicreate as an initiative seeks to go beyond traditional teaching
methods and instead adopt a ‘learning by doing’ approach, thereby incorporating
creativity into the learning process.
All through the month, Fevicreate
will encourage the future scientist to try
their hands at creating their own version of Chandrayaan using
the specially designed Fevicreate Chandrayan 2 sheet (Crafting
sheet) provided by Pidilite and Fevicol A+. This sheet tells them all about the
Lander and the Rover in Chandrayaan 2, and allows them to make a model of the
same. The students will be assisted by the
teachers and moreover the sheet also comprises of instructions that the kids
can follow. The activity has also been captured in
a video which has been launched on 05.09.2019
Going a step forward, Fevicreate has
also collaborated with Nehru Planetarium for an activity where kids will be
creating Chandrayaan replicas. Over
500 students will be participating and will give wings to their imagination.
Dr
Arvind Paranjpye–Director. Nehru Planetarium, Mumbai said
that Chandrayaan 2 is a historic mission for our country and children should
learn more about the same. We also believe Fevicreate’s Make Your Own
Chandrayaan 2 initiative gives just the right platform for kids to
explore and learn about space missions in creative and engaging manner.
Shantanu
Bhanja, CEO, Consumer Products, Pidilite Industries Ltd,
said that we believe in the power of Art and Craft to help children learn. In
lots of research, it is proven that making things -”projects”: beyond just
seeing and hearing about them - deepen the learning process. The very acts of
planning, cutting, pasting and painting for making art and craft projects are
essential to the growth of fine skills development in children. Arts and Crafts
provide children the opportunity to fully explore their potential, build their
self-confidence, and ensure their all-round development. As a part of the
Fevicreate initiative, we endeavor to introduce new learning methods to the
future scientists of India and offer them a platform to think out of the box
and explore beyond textbooks.
