Children these days are wise beyond their years. And, they love using modern technology to their advantage. From ordering toys online to helping save a life, kids sure know how to put to modern gadgets to great use.
Recently, a seventh-grader from Ludhiana has made learning fun through technology. Namya Joshi from Sat Paul Mittal School has been helping teachers convert classroom sessions into interactive Minecraft classes, reports Hindustan Times. The 13-year-old believes “if children do not like reading books, one can make them take interest in Minecraft”.
If you didn’t know, Minecraft is a video game where people explore a virtual world. The game helps you learn a lot of things including how the world functions and it also explains STEM and the concepts of cyber-security through storytelling.
“What excited and inspired me from my meetings with students was the quality of their ideas, the scope of their ambition, deep passion and deep empathy turning into action. This is truly transformative, and is how societies and economies move forward,” he was quoted saying.
