Chairman of Golden Bee Global School, Dr. Madan A Sendhil
Bangalore, India, 1st Oct, 2024 - At Golden Bee Global School, we are dedicated to recognizing and nurturing the unique learning styles and needs of our students. By integrating design thinking into our educational framework, we provide bespoke experiences with real-world applications. This approach emphasizes problem-solving and critical thinking, offering a stimulating and engaging learning journey for our students. Through experiential and exploratory methods, students collaboratively address significant community challenges, fostering their creativity and logical thinking skills.
Student Achievements in Environmental Efforts
One of our exemplary students, Manya Harsha, has been lauded by The Jal Ministry of India for her exceptional environmental efforts. She has planted over 700 saplings and continues to advocate for tree planting as a solution to deforestation. Her work on Festive Waste Management has garnered global recognition, setting a benchmark for her peers. Many of our students actively engage in similar initiatives, striving to address critical environmental challenges.
Hands-On Learning in the Innovation Lab
Design thinking is an indispensable tool for transforming students into innovative problem-solvers. For instance, in a science class addressing plastic waste, students embark on a systematic journey by clearly delineating the issue. This methodical approach helps them deconstruct complex problems into manageable components, nurturing critical thinking skills.
The process involves rigorous research on the impact of ecosystems, conducting in-depth analysis of environmental harm, and generating alternative ideas through brainstorming. Students actively collaborate, culminating in the development of prototypes using bioplastic created in their lab – a testament to their design thinking prowess. This hands-on approach enhances their capacity to transform concepts into practical solutions.
Creating prototypes in our Innovation Lab brings learning to life. Students have the opportunity to construct physical or digital models, such as prosthetic arms using our robotic tools. This hands-on approach not only enhances comprehension but also builds resilience by teaching students to view failure as a learning opportunity. By testing and refining prototypes, they learn to embrace setbacks as opportunities to improve, fostering perseverance and grit.

Teacher Training and Leadership Vision
To unlock the power of design thinking in the classroom, a meticulously designed and strategic approach to teacher training is essential. Equipping educators with the requisite knowledge and skills empowers them to seamlessly integrate design thinking into their pedagogy. This transformative approach fosters a student-centric learning environment that sparks innovation and ignites a passion for learning. More than 44 faculties from our school are certified from STEMROBO. We have conducted workshops and seminars for our faculties at Golden Bee to elucidate the principles and stages of design thinking: empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test. Trainers shared successful examples of design thinking in education to illustrate its impact on student learning and engagement. Finally, our teachers engaged in mini design thinking projects to experience the process themselves. These opportunities encouraged teachers to reflect on their experiences and how adopting a design-thinking mindset can benefit their students.
Our Chairman, Dr. Madan A Sendhil, has driven significant technological and educational advancements in India, particularly in hybrid energy systems and real-time operating systems. He spearheads initiatives for sustainable development and envisions a world where every child grows to their potential. At Golden Bee Global, we strive to create an inclusive environment and equip our students with critical thinking skills for future challenges.
