"Multiple Intelligences Xplored" challenges the contestants across eight intelligence categories, as propounded by Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences. The theory is an account of human cognition in its fullness.The event has been designed to distinguish inherent talents and to nurture the child's self-esteem.



Think-a-thon,Creative Sparks,All By Myself,Wide Wild World,Colours of the World and Josh were the challenges which fuelled the insatiating cognitive appetites of the little wonders.The energy,the synergy,the logical thought process,the aesthetic presentation,the synchronised groups dynamics and inherent talent reflected in their performances.

Our Media Pod Student Reporters Armand (7B) and Yuvraj (8)write.........
At the outset we were briefed of our duties. We were all set take a peek into journalism by reporting this great event which was as amalgamation of fun,entertainment,logic, intelligence,environemental awareness and everything which we need to know and experience.

We waited eagerly to test our journalistic insticts with the other participants.We started our spree with One of students from Dean’s Academy. He said that he was really excited and a little tense about the day. In fact, all the participants had a similar feeling.

After the all schools arrived,Sinduja Ma'am welcomed and gave them an outline of the event flow and thus began the fun trail.

we began with our first event; the Division 1 Think a Thon. The students had to design a toy than could walk, spin, or fly. It was held in the Primary Block and they all enjoyed it. We interviewed some volunteers from our school and asked them about thier experiences in the M.I.X. They said that it was an overdose of unending fun. An excellent way to express their talents and make new friends too.

The second event, which was held at the same time as Think a Thon, was Josh for Division 2.In this event, the participants had to go through a number of obstacles that tested their flexibility,strength,grit and stamina.It was lots of fun,sweat,excitement and hard work.


JOSH

The third event, which ran parallel, was All by Myself for Division 3.The participants had to create a 3-D model of their strengths/Weaknesses. This did pose a problem for a few students,as they say it is always easier to find fault of others than our own:-)

After a few other events we had our break, in which we had guess what!! Unlimited cotton candy and popcorn. The line for these two stalls stretched further than the horizon. Well, nearly.There was a stall for Body Tatoo too.Students made a beeline to get the tatoo done in all myriad colours and exotic shapes.

The first event after the break was the Think a Thon for Division 3.In this challenge, the participants worked in groups of four and tried to build a boat that could propel itself across the water filled in the Round About. Loads of logic,practicality and forethought. We interviewed the Division 3 participants of Head Start on M.I.X. and they said that they were having a fantastic time and were looking forward to the rest of the day.

After spending some time at Think a Thon, we went to the Division 3 Wide Wild World event, in which the participants had to create a model of a planet that would be able to support human life without an atmosphere or hydrosphere.Whoa!What a challenge... we argued a bit on the possiblity of facing the situation with Global Warming lunging forward.

In the Division 2 Creative Sparks event, participants had to do stage a puppet play shown on a given theme.It was a sight to see.. what a fantastic creative spark they created to illuminate the stage with their narration.

After a lot of events, no blood, some sweat, and no tears, we had lunch, which was extremely refreshing. We also had some more popcorn and cotton candy, which surprisingly didn’t run out, even though at least 500 helpings of cotton candy were given out.

After another hour and a half of funfilled events we had our prize distribution. As fitting start to a Prize distribution ceremony for Mix,an imprompto cultural event was organised. The students of grade 9&10 danced.Ishaan and Surya brought more cheer by their fun dance or do we call it dragon dance after the dragon tatoo on Ishaan's face.Surya's music was fantastic and left us dumbstruck. After loads of fun, the prizes were distributed, in which Inventure Academy won the overall trophy! After a snack we had to say goodbye to our friends and go home. It was really tiring, but the fun we had made up for it, with some extra fun left over, for us to smile and remember that day.
