WIS Pawan Baug edutains at KidZania
“It’s better to see something and act
than to hear about it a thousand times.” Every expedition made is an experience
which leaves students pondering and implores them to think. Witty International
School, Pawan Baug organized a fun filled educational trip for Wittians to
KidZania, R City Mall, Ghatkopar. The students were enthusiastic and excited to
visit the Edutainment Theme Park. The journey emulated the enthusiasm of the
students. The venue, a huge place had special measures taken to facilitate easy
and hassle-free entry inside the theme park. The students were also given a
voucher of 50 Kidzos to be used for various activities inside the gaming zones
and work stations.
KidZania was themed as a child-sized replica
of a real city, including buildings, shops and theaters, as well as vehicles
and pedestrians moving along its streets. Wittians worked in branded activities
from bottling Coca-Cola, working in a Crest-sponsored dentist office, working
at a McDonalds restaurant, painting with Nerolac, washing hands with P&G's
Safeguard soap, and using airline tickets .The children earned kidZos
(KidZania's currency) while performing the tasks, and the money was kept in the
KidZania bank for children to spend at the gift shop and on KidZania
activities. Wittians wore electronic bracelets that allowed teachers to keep
track of the students remotely. Through adult professions and hands-on exposures
to the working world, students learnt about the fundamentals of financial
literacy and how society functions. Through each activity kids discovered the
value of creativity, team work and self-esteem. They learnt the value of
independence, empowerment, and leadership and become aware of the benefits of
involvement in their communities.
Wittians
participated in performances, solved problems of urban infrastructure, designed
fashion, navigated airplanes, reported news, performed detective work at
K.Z.P.D i.e. KidZania Police Department and mastered their culinary skills by
preparing delectable burgers and donuts.The journey back home was filled with
wonderful memories and the skills attained to encounter the world realities.
