NAISAK Student Achieve Bronze and Silver Awards for iDEA: Celebrating Their Success!

NAISAK Student Achieve Bronze and Silver Awards for iDEA: Celebrating Their Success! ‘Personalised learning’ is just one example of a term discussed frequently in schools but often with different ideas and meanings. In my 30+ years as an educator, I have found that some parents have different definitions of personalised learning, while others may not be very familiar with the concept or the concrete benefits it brings to students at school! For some it means using adaptive technology that adjusts for students’ ability; for others, it means an individualised curriculum plan for each student in the classroom. Those aren’t necessarily incorrect, but they perhaps put too much focus on separating the student from their peers. They also don’t take into consideration all the ways in which students learn or are unique.

Congratulations to Karthikeya in Year 7 for achieving the bronze and silver awards for The Inspiring Digital Enterprise Award! This is an amazing accomplishment and a testament to the hard work and dedication he has put into the programme.

The Inspiring Digital Enterprise Award, known as iDEA is an international award-winning programme that helps you develop digital, enterprise, and employability skills for free.

Through the series of online challenges, you can win career-enhancing badges, unlock new opportunities, and, ultimately, gain industry-recognized Awards that help you stand out from the crowd.

The iDEA has been introduced at NAISAK to help students gain the skills they need to prepare students for their future, especially within Computing.

We asked Karthikeya to share his thoughts on the iDEA program and his experience in achieving the Bronze and Silver awards. Here's what he had to say:

"I’m Chyavan Karthikeya B. [CK], Grade-7 Student from the lovely school NAISAK. Bronze is Past, Silver is Old. Aiming the all-shiny GOLD!

I really enjoyed iDEA.org it involved a lot of brainstorming computing activities and is very fun. Getting started is the first step but the sooner, the better."  

We are so proud of Karthikeya and we congratulate him on his fantastic achievement. We know that Karthikeya will continue to use the skills he has learnt through the iDEA programme to help him succeed in the future.
