IT Competition -
         ‘Building Creative Confidence’
         February 28, 2020
         “Creativity is simply connecting new dots in new ways”
         Students were welcomed to ‘Unleashing Creativity’, a platform
         where we inspire and foster the creativity in every one. We do
         this by designing creative projects - projects which give wings
         to  the  imagination  of  students  and  inculcate  life  skills using
         technology. The IT Department of our school organized an
         Intra-Section IT Competition-‘Building Creative Confidence’
         for  young  Dipsites.  This  event  witnessed  100%  participation
         of the students with full fervour and each painting was very
         appealing  and alluring. The  theme  of the  competition  was-
         ‘Nature’. The little Dipsites used MS Paint to showcase their
         artistic skills by creating striking scenes.

         Education has evolved in leaps and bounds in recent years. Traditional pedagogical techniques used for explaining a topic may still
         be useful but education today revolves around encouraging the students to awaken their curiosity and desire to learn.
         We at DPS Greater Faridabad aim at delivering the best to our students through blended learning environments that integrate the
         use of digital media, hands-on learning, diversity, collaboration and customization. Let’s have a look at some of the round the year
         activities which children enjoy while learning.
