As we know, the demand for professionals in automation requiring computer science and related disciplines continues to grow. Cultivating a generation with Computational Thinking and Engineering is becoming indispensable.
In the robotics club students receive the dynamic knowledge offered under interdisciplinary robotics program. It covers mechanical functions to build mobile contraptions, and heavily focuses on programming to create autonomous robots. Students program their robots to solve various challenging projects that simulate real life scenarios. All projects are conducted through engineering process. It aims to build and strengthen students’ analytical and computational skill. Inherently, it will make engineering intuition and thinking outside the box as second nature.
The Robotics Club at CHP is run by Mrs. Bhalla in liaison with Storming Robots. She has taught robotics to Grades 4 to 10 in the past four years at the adroit robotics learning center, Storming Robots. Storming Robots has proven its success in building students in engineering education career in college, through their students’ achievements.

Grade 4 Student Pranavi at the United Nations! Peace Day celebrations took place at the United Nations Headquarters on Friday, September 20th. CHP 4th grader, Pranavi Sivakumar, had an opportunity to participate in this International Day of Peace Student Observance. This memorable experience for Pranavi is best described in her own words: “We waited in line for almost three hours. When we finally were able to sit down inside the U.N., we listened to many speeches about climate change. I also met my dance teacher there. She performed very nicely. I was paying close attention. I was the most excited person in my life!”

The Multiple Advantages of a Multilingual CurriculumThere have been a number of studies in recent years that suggest people who speak more than one language are in fact more intelligent. An article written by the New York Times highlights that learning multiple languages could improve cognitive skills beyond those related to language, which is a considerably different viewpoint than previously thought.
