Makers Lab

Our school has proudly partnered with Cendrado since 2019 to create a vibrant space where students explore STEM, AI, Robotics, Coding, and Design Thinking through hands-on learning. The Makers Lab gives students the freedom to build, experiment, and bring their ideas to life using interactive STEAM books, exciting learning kits, and smart tech tools such as ZBLOX, custom microcontrollers, and the Brainstorm Robotics Kit.
Aligned with CBSE skill modules and the NEP 2020 vision, the program helps students develop essential real-world skills like problem-solving, creativity, teamwork, and logical thinking. Whether they are assembling robots, coding their own programs, or experimenting with new technologies, students learn by doing—making every session fun and meaningful.
A dedicated robotics automation engineer guides and mentors them throughout the process, ensuring that every child feels supported, confident, and inspired to innovate. Through this initiative, the Makers Lab has become a hub of imagination, discovery, and future-ready learning in our school.

IEEE Conference

Our students are privileged to engage with Misty II, the sophisticated humanoid robot, and MITI, the versatile outdoor rover robot—both cutting-edge technologies typically found in leading universities around the world. These incredible robots were generously presented to our school by our esteemed alumnus, Dr. Prasad Duraisamy, as a token of gratitude and a heartfelt effort to give back to the society that nurtured his early learning.
Misty II allows students to dive deep into the world of robotics and AI. They learn to program human-robot interactions, implement facial and voice recognition, explore autonomous decision-making, and understand the practical applications of artificial intelligence in real-world scenarios. Students can also experiment with Misty II to develop creative solutions, simulate social robotics, and engage in interactive projects that enhance both technical and soft skills.
MITI, the outdoor rover robot, introduces students to mobile robotics, environmental sensing, navigation systems, and automation in real-world outdoor settings. Working with MITI, students can design obstacle courses, simulate problem-solving scenarios, and explore concepts of robotics mobility, sensor integration, and data-driven decision-making. This hands-on experience encourages analytical thinking, innovation, and teamwork, bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical applications.
Through the integration of these advanced robots into our curriculum, combined with global collaborations and a rich program spanning IT, AI, food production, textile design, mass media, and financial literacy, our students gain an unparalleled opportunity to explore, experiment, and innovate. They not only learn the technologies of today but are also empowered to become confident, future-ready innovators capable of shaping the rapidly evolving world of tomorrow.

Collaborative progam with IIT Chennai

We has taken a significant step toward academic excellence by partnering with IIT Madras through its prestigious School Connect Program, run by the Centre for Outreach and Digital Education (CODE). This unique collaboration gives students of Classes X, XI, and XII the chance to explore advanced subjects such as Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, Electronic Systems, Game Development, Biology, Aerospace, and Architecture.
Through interactive workshops, hands-on projects, and guidance from IIT Madras faculty, students gain practical, industry-relevant skills while learning about cutting-edge technologies. They also have the opportunity to earn an IIT Madras certification while still in school, giving them a valuable advantage for higher education and future careers. The August 2025 batch is now actively enrolled, following in the footsteps of last year’s students, who successfully completed their courses with flying colors.

International Collaborative Programs

we believe that every learner deserves opportunities that broaden their horizons and ignite their curiosity. Through our collaboration with Krypton Warriors (New Jersey) and LeapOnward (Texas), our students participate in enriching, hands-on sessions in AI, STEM, Design Thinking, and Python programming. These interactive experiences connect them with global mentors, encourage real-world problem-solving, and expose them to the rapidly evolving world of technology.

This collaboration not only builds strong technical foundations but also inspires our students to think boldly, innovate fearlessly, and see themselves as future-ready global citizens.

Art Intergration

Art transforms STEAM into a holistic learning experience that develops both the mind and the imagination. It helps students:

• Think creatively
• Solve problems innovatively
• Communicate ideas clearly
• Build confidence
• Develop future-ready skills

By blending artistic expression with technical learning, we prepare students not just as learners—but as creators, innovators, and leaders of tomorrow.

Examples of Art Integration in STEAM

• Creating 3D models and sculptures to understand geometry and engineering.
• Designing posters, animations, or digital art to explain scientific concepts.
• Using music or rhythm to learn coding loops and patterns.
• Building artistic prototypes using recycled materials for sustainability projects.

Math Lab

At SJSV, our Math Lab is a vibrant, interactive learning environment designed to help students experience mathematics in meaningful, hands-on ways. Instead of learning formulas by rote, students explore, experiment, and discover mathematical ideas through engaging activities, models, and real-life applications. This approach strengthens conceptual clarity, builds confidence, and nurtures a natural curiosity for numbers.

Montessori Math Lab – Building Strong Early Foundations

For our youngest learners, the Montessori Math Lab lays the groundwork for strong numeracy skills. Children engage with tactile, thoughtfully designed materials such as:

• Number rods
• Golden beads
• Counters and spindles
• Place value blocks
• Shape puzzles and pattern boards

Through these concrete learning tools, students see, touch, and understand mathematical concepts, making abstract ideas simple and enjoyable. This early exposure develops number sense, pattern recognition, and independent thinking.

Numeracy & Literacy Integration – Connecting Math to Life

Our Numeracy & Literacy framework combines mathematical reasoning with language skills, helping students apply math in everyday contexts. Through this integrated approach, students learn to:

• Interpret and analyze data through stories
• Tackle word problems using logical reasoning
• Use mathematical vocabulary with clarity
• Connect numeracy to real-life experiences

This blend of numeracy and language strengthens comprehension, communication, and higher-order thinking.

Extending Learning Across Grades

The Math Lab supports students from Kindergarten through Grade 8, with a strong emphasis on the primary and middle school years. During these crucial stages, learners benefit greatly from hands-on tools, visual models, and activity-based learning that deepen understanding and make mathematics engaging and accessible for all.
