Workshop on Geometrical Shapes in Namuna Machindra School - 2023

On October 5, 2023, two international interns, Victoria and Valeria, along with a dedicated team that specializes in using locally sourced materials and CFC members, conducted the first Geometrical Shapes Workshop for students with visual disabilities studying in grades 6, 7, and 8 at Namuna Machindra School.

In a prior session focused on resourceful design, a team comprising members from BA, BBS, and Microbiology departments crafted a variety of 2D and 3D geometrical shapes, providing intricate details. They even used a 3D pen to create the outlines of 2D shapes. During the workshop, the students utilized everyday items such as sticks, clay, and paper to construct diverse 3D geometrical shapes. This hands-on experience significantly enhanced the understanding of complex geometrical concepts among the children with visual disabilities, a level of comprehension that printed textbooks or course materials might not have accomplished.
