Free programme on problem-solving skills for schools
Mumbai, August 5
Skilling company, Clever Harvey, has announced that it will be making its programme for problem-solving and adaptability skills – The Prodigy – free for schools in India.
Founded by former IIM and Ivy League alumni, Clever Harvey enables students to prepare for an uncertain tomorrow. The Prodigy programme equips students with critical thinking and problem-solving skills, using current global issues.
For example, the current challenges presented to students are designing a contactless sport for the Olympics; helping the WHO design a health advisory which the public will pay heed to or even design innovative ways to reduce food wastage. Each challenge is 6 hours long. Students are taught the skills of approaching these problems in an open-minded manner. They then use what they have learned to create group projects and present these at the end.
To avail of this offer, schools must be able to provide 6 slots of 1 hour each, spread over 2 weeks. The programme is conducted online, and students will need video and audio capability. All sessions are conducted in small group sizes. The two-week programme culminates in a parent showcase.
