On the first day, Jeesu Jaskanwar Singh, assistant professor, Panjab University highlighted the challenges of teaching in the digital era, where reduced attention spans demand innovative classroom strategies. He emphasised that effective teaching depends not only on subject knowledge but also on the teacher’s ability to engage curious minds through creativity.

On the second day, Professor MS Marwaha, physics educator and former principal of SGGS College, Chandigarh, demonstrated how simple, low-cost experiments can effectively explain complex scientific concepts through activity-based learning. Using everyday materials, he explained pressure, atmospheric pressure, buoyancy, density, Newton’s laws of motion, centre of mass, light scattering, refraction, diffraction and plasma through engaging demonstrations that encouraged observation, inquiry and scientific thinking.

Whereas, on the third day, AI experts, Sanjay Aggarwal and Rishab, conducted an interactive session on the integration of artificial intelligence in teaching and learning. They introduced participants to various AI-powered tools for lesson planning, content creation, classroom engagement and assessment, while emphasising the ethical and responsible use of AI. Through hands-on activities, they demonstrated how emerging technologies can enhance teaching effectiveness and help teachers create innovative, personalised and future-ready learning experiences.
