We aim to nurture big-thinkers, problem solvers, discoverers. We can only achieve this by encouraging curiosity and passion in the young minds of our budding scientists.
Innovatia is an initiative to inculcate scientific temper in our children’s young minds through intensively planned, age appropriate hands on activities in the scientific field. Interaction with eminent scientists will inspire and enlighten out young minds.
This hands-on learning allows students to achieve the highest cognitive development as it is proven to be the best learning method. The focus is on creating based on the concrete to abstract learning strategy. Our insistence on experiential learning through experiments gives children the idea of working with trial and error. Children learn from their mistakes and understand the potential gaps between theory and practice. They can also brainstorm ways to fill these gaps in new, innovative ways.
KHS Primary School proudly hosted the Innovatia Inauguration Ceremony on 12th July 2025, marking the beginning of an exciting journey for our young innovators. The ceremony was graced by the presence of our esteemed Chief Guest, Mr. Chris Bastianpillai, Mrs. Radhika Sharma Jt. Treasurer Kannada Sangha, Mrs. Pallavi Naik Academic Head, Mrs. Jyothi Kadkol Principal Kannada Medium and our Principal Ma’am Mrs. Nisha Tapde.
Students who have opted for Innovatia, along with their parents, attended the ceremony with great enthusiasm. The students also recited a science related poem. Mr. Bastianpillai addressed the gathering with enriching words, inspiring the students to embrace creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. Parents and children shared their experiences during the program.
The ceremony aimed to foster a culture of innovation, encouraging students to think outside the box and develop innovative solutions to real-world problems. We are thrilled to embark on this journey, empowering our students to become the change-makers of tomorrow.
The event concluded with a sense of excitement and anticipation, as our young innovators eagerly look forward to exploring the world of possibilities.
‘Innovatia’ is an initiative taken by KHS – Primary School, to promote experiential learning. Students get to learn different scientific concepts in a joyful and ‘hands on’ way, through the various activities planned by the teachers. The sessions are conducted throughout the year for std. 3 and std. 4 students on every Saturday morning from 8.00 am to 10.00 am. To give an insight of the program to the students and to motivate them to enrol themselves for the same, an Innovatia Motivation Session was conducted in the school assembly hall on 26th June 2025. This session helped the students to know more about the fun way learning that takes place during the sessions. The experiment demonstrations by the teachers created an excitement within the students.
Like every year Innovatia closing ceremony was held on 10th Feb 2024 this year too.
Mrs. Aparna Deshpande from IISER was the chief guest for the occasion. Parents and teachers shared their feelings and experiences about Innovatia on the stage.
An enthusiastic parent and her daughter presented a small act of conversation to express their experiences during Innovatia Sessions.
This year the innovative sessions were conducted by eminent scientists – Mr. Kiran Bhave and Dr. Raviraj Sorte.
Twenty five hands-on activities were taken by other session facilitators to develop curiosity amongst students like creating different colour shades in Fun With Colours, Science experiments under Supercool Science, String Art, Shadow Puppet and Story Telling, Guess the seed – A touch based activity under Exploring Seeds etc.
A visit to IISER was also undertaken under Innovatia this year.
