Weekly Videos: How to make a magnetic generator?

We conducted our first session with our Central Delhi batch last Saturday - it was a lot of fun and as usual the session was over stretched. We had a great time and so did few of the kids - I was getting calls till late in night as some of the folks were still working on generating electricity:

Here's a video for them and others on how to generate electricity using magnets.

Note: This idea has been taken from Mr. Arvind Gupta after his due permission - ofcourse we have made our changes as well.

Please let us know if you have any questions on this!

We just created a promotional video for bcWorkshops - this video is for prospective participants, school administrators and principals to give them an overview about the program.

Do drop us a line at bcworkshop at buildingblocks dot in if you have any suggestions for the video:

buildingBlocks launches India's first afterschool program

buildingBlocks, a first of it's kind Research organization in the field of Primary and Elementary Education, has launched India's first afterschool program (blockClasses). The program is an outcome of months of research, countless hours of discussion with eminent educationists, analysis and re-analysis of urban Indian neighborhoods, countless hours of brainstorming amongst the Research team, a lot of commitment and most importantly the uncompromising passion to create a NEW India.

The program is getting launched this summer, as a introductory summer workshop at Bharti Public School, Swasthya Vihar. In case if you are interested to know more about the program, kindly register for the introduction seminar in second week of May.

Finally, we are extremely thankful to our team to spend so much time in making all of this possible.

How Delhites curse the blessings in their life?

After r2i'ing last year, my most precious moments using public services are very few -- actually only two. One when I am walking on the inner circle of Cannaught Place and the second one when I am travelling on Delhi Metro. Both the interactions have something levelling or equitable about them. While walking in the inner circle in CP, I for one time feel that a chaotic city like Delhi can also provide that equitable ambience to its citizens - where one is not rudely reminded of the various classes that exist in Delhi (rich -- people who have big cars and the poor pedestrian).

A similar actually much more deeper feeling of equity can be experienced when one travels in Delhi Metro. It's for the first time in Delhi that one gets a feeling of being equal. No body is rich, poor, Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Christian for one time -- we are all travellers wanting to reach our destinations and enjoying the mode of travel. We are very proud of this mode -- it has inculcated in us the culture of standing in queues, the culture of being respectable to our elders, the culture of compassion towards other travellers, it has saved so much creative energy in us -- some economist can compute the productivity, it has provided much needed freedom for our women. All in all, I think Metro has done something that hundreds of temples, yagnas and political speeches have not been able to achieve for Delhi -- its contribution is incredible and we should be thankful to all those who were involved in the making of the METRO.

So, when I saw this article a desperate plea from a man whom many of us respect from bottom of our heart, I could not wait but promote the plea on this blog -- so I would request all the readers of this blog to contribute in their own way to eliminate the curse looming large on our blessing. May be you can talk about the ways in which we can improve our Metro as well.
