Aadithya Arjun, an internationally certified
storyteller, conducted an online storytelling
and drawing session for students of grades
3 through 5.
She captivated the students by enacting and
singing the story and using objects to represent
the characters in the story. She then teased
their imagination by giving them clues to
draw something instead of revealing the
topic. e.g. clues to draw a frog were it’s
green and croaks.
The students drew with inspiration and
quickly shared their drawings online.
They now want more such sessions.
A teacher from Isha Vidhya, Aragonda, says
this session has given them a new
understanding of how to tell stories
creatively to engage students’ interest.

Shyaamprasadh, a Ph.D. in Finance from
Indian Institute of Technology, Chennai,
builds scalable machine-learning and
analytics systems. Prasadh recently
conducted a "Get Mentored" session for
11th and 12th students of Isha Vidhya.
The session proved to be a boon for
students aiming for a career in software
development and data analysis. Prasadh
spoke about coding being a better and
more lucrative career option than
computer programming, which is on the
wane. He also updated the students about
institutions, scholarships, and the
scope of employment in data analysis.
Janaki, a grade 10 student of Isha Vidhya
Tuticorin school, shared that the session
was very informative and motivating. It
has given her the confidence to make
decisions about her academic career.
We look forward to many students
learning about the latest and greatest
in the career arena!

1950 kms, starting from Chennai on
December 24th!
This trip has been planned for 21 days

day of the trip, they have covered 1470

Currently they are in the final stage of
their trip. They say that in each school,
they were warmly welcomed with
heart-felt greetings. They also share that
the discussions that they had with the
