INVENTURING
Inventuring is a fun part of school and I'll show you what I did and how I felt. One of the activities that I did was Think-a-thon which means to make a ten piece puzzle using only picture of your choice we made a picture of a house. The next day we did colors of the world we had to make a costume out of newspapers and then dress somebody up with it I got dressed up as a cricketer I enjoyed that activity. the next day we did WideWildWorld we had to create a music band using natural material it was a bit difficult but we did pretty well.
The next day I had to do something called Creative Sparks. We had to make a mad ad using product we got. We got Hanuman which is a power drink we did like there's a lady with a purse and a theif steals it so I save the purse by drinking Hanuman. I really liked this because you could be very creative.

Suman Sridharan,Our Sports Editor from Inventure Academy visits the Times of India Press.
I had an interesting field trip on Saturday, 27th Feb 2010.So interesting that after it was done I didn't mind giving up my Saturday, to be honest, i did show a hint of unhappiness when i was informed . I was chosen to visit the Times printing press the largest of its kind in Asia, it was a great opportunity for me to see how my morning paper got made, and for me to meet new people. I was asked to describe the press in this report, and a brilliant short introductory description would be that it was big, it was noisy, and it smelled like ink. It was amazing on how large a scale these people were operating. I saw towers of 4 feet wide paper reels that were stacked so high that they reached the ceiling of an airplane hanger sized storeroom. I saw printing machines that were 3 stories high and worth approximately a 100 crores each.
What interested me was the environmentally friendly aspect of the business, it is a challenge to be environmentally friendly when you're operating on such a large scale, but in this press most of the paper used is recycled. and there are plans to use more solar power, so all in all the Times isn't doing a very bad job. As a commerce student I also got to see in practice the motivational aspect of the business, how employees are kept safe, happy and motivated to become more productive. For example the management used awards like employee of the month, best suggestion, and annual trips to increase motivation and team working, employees were provided pension schemes, safety equipment, good sanitation, cantines, and recreation time, to make them feel more secure and comfortable at work. I also got to see how the production process can be made more efficient by using more capital and regularly maintaining and updating existing capital in order to make the press more productive.
All in all a very informative trip, I'd like to thank my school and Times NIE for making it possible.

The Science Exhibition At Inventure Academy-Jan 30th, 2010
ALL IS WELL at Inventure Academy!
Yes I know, the title is derived from one of the catchphrases of 3 Idiots, but I write thus due to the Science Fair held at Inventure by the students of Grade 7, and due to the fact that “health food” was one of the main attractions being offered. Despite these tough economic times, the enterprising students managed to seize the day (as well as a lot of money) in true Inventure fashion, and I can say that parents’ wallets were considerably lighter by the time the ingredients were done and over. There were lots of happy smiles around the place, as you will see in the photos.
Healthy Eating
There were many more attractions being offered as well. Firstly, a gargantuan representation of the basis of chemistry, the Periodic Table, loomed over the scene, providing a welcome shade from the summer heat at Inventure. Though lots of information about the 114 elements was present, some of the elements were more interesting than others. For instance, Rhodium is an element that is a hard and dense silver transition metal and a member of the platinum group and is used in alloys with platinum, symbol is Rh and atomic number 45. Its name comes from the Greek word ‘rhodon’, meaning ‘rose’. Next Strontium, a silvery, soft metallic element with the symbol Sr and atomic number 38. It is highly reactive and turns yellow when exposed to air. It is named after a Scottish village, Strontia. Last but not least, there is “The Poisoner’s Poison’ or Thallium, a soft, grey, malleable poor metal, which resembles tin but discolours when exposed to air, with atomic number 81 and symbol Tl. It has been given its rather ominous sobriquet due to the fact that thallium is highly toxic and is used for murder. Apart from that, thallium is also used in the electronics and glass industries.
Scientists in the making.....
And to conclude this tome of happenings on Friday 30th January 2010, our scientists, Arincheyan Gerald and Karan Abrol were explaining their experiment to find out what makes geckos change color to the bystanders, including myself. And did I mention the PTM running parallel to the event? Oh well, that’s Inventure for you!

Learning Lessons at Intel Labs
The 11th graders visited Intel Labs to get an insight on to what Intel does.
Over there, we learned about Chip design, Graphics design and the history of the computer world. We had the privilege of interacting with the CEO of Intel India. We also gained insight into the various educational programs that Intel sponsors. We were showed a presentation on Intel’s latest project which is an e-textbook. We had the opportunity of going inside the Lab, in which they do most of their testing and processing.
Personally it helped me gain insight into the Computer World and made me thinking about my future career.
