Report on the Workshop Conducted by the Skill Workshop Committee and Health and Awareness Committee

On the 19th of June 2025, various workshops were organized for students of XII science.

The Skill Workshop Committee in collaboration with the Health and Awareness Committee organized an enriching workshop on Electronics, conducted by Ms. Vilma Fernandes. The session was designed to introduce students to basic electronic components and their applications, fostering practical skills and awareness in the field.

Ms. Vilma Fernandes began the workshop with a detailed introduction to fundamental electronic components such as resistors, capacitors, and diodes, explaining their functions and importance in circuits. She elaborated on the role of diodes in rectification circuits, highlighting how they convert AC to DC, and discussed their practical significance.

The session further explored logic gates, their types, and their applications in digital electronics. Ms. Fernandes demonstrated how to construct truth tables to understand the working of various gates, bridging theoretical knowledge with practical understanding.

A significant highlight of the workshop was the hands-on practical session, where students worked with breadboards to build simple circuits using the components discussed. This practical experience allowed students to apply their knowledge, test circuits, and gain confidence in handling electronic hardware.

The workshop proved to be highly interactive and informative, sparking curiosity and enhancing the students’ technical skills in the basics of electronics. The committees look forward to organizing more such sessions to continue developing students’ skill sets and awareness.

Another creative and skill-enhancing Fabric Painting Workshop, was conducted by Ms. Divvya Bandhakar and Ms. Pradnya Parob. The workshop aimed to introduce students to the art of fabric painting and equip them with practical skills to create beautiful designs on cloth.

The session began with an introduction to fabric paints, their types, and their various uses. The resource persons explained the importance of selecting suitable cloth materials for fabric painting to ensure durability and quality of the final artwork.Participants were then guided through the application process, including techniques for transferring designs, mixing colours, and using brushes effectively to achieve the desired results.

A highlight of the workshop was the hands-on experience, where students actively participated in creating their own fabric designs under the guidance of Ms. Bandhakar and Ms. Parob. This practical session boosted the participants’ confidence and sparked creativity, allowing them to experiment and express their ideas freely.

The workshop was well-received and provided students with an opportunity to explore their artistic talents while learning a valuable skill.

On the very same day a comprehensive workshop on the Fundamentals of Basic Electronics, aimed at equipping students with foundational knowledge and practical skills in electronics.

In the first part of the session, students were introduced to essential electronic components such as resistors, capacitors, and transformers. The resource person explained the structure, function, and applications of each component, followed by demonstrations to help students understand their working in real circuits.

The workshop also provided students with hands-on experience in soldering, giving them practical exposure to connecting and assembling electronic components on circuit boards safely and effectively.

The session further covered the concept of logic gates, their types, and their role in digital circuits. Students learned how logic gates form the backbone of modern electronics and digital systems.

Another highlight of the session was the explanation and demonstration of the working of induction motors, helping students understand the principles behind this vital electrical machine and its industrial applications.

Finally, the workshop concluded with a practical introduction to basic types of circuits, where students applied their knowledge to build simple working circuits, reinforcing the theoretical concepts discussed.

The interactive and hands-on approach of the session made it highly engaging and informative, building students’ confidence and interest in the field of electronics.

A workshop on Photography and Reel Making was conducted by Jayant Panvelkar and Nilesh Keni , which was designed to introduce students to these evolving and highly relevant creative skills.

The session began with an introduction to photography and reel making, highlighting their growing importance in the modern digital age and the opportunities they offer as both a hobby and a profession.

Participants were made aware of various equipment used in photography apart from the camera itself. The resource person explained the use of accessories such as diffusers for softening light, grips for steady camera handling, viewfinders for precise framing, and the role of image sensors in capturing high-quality images.

Different types of cameras were discussed, with a special focus on full-frame cameras, their advantages, and their extensive use in wedding photography and other professional shoots. The session also touched upon the post-production process, emphasizing how editing and finishing techniques enhance the final output of photographs and reels.

Students were encouraged to pursue photography as a hobby, with guidance on following the fundamental principles of photography, including composition, lighting, perspective, and storytelling through images and reels.

The workshop successfully provided participants with an overview of the technical and creative aspects of photography and reel making, sparking enthusiasm to explore and develop these skills further.

The committee looks forward to organizing more such sessions to continue developing students’ skill sets and awareness.
