“Bicycle as a machine has the great potential to be used for developing an integrated curriculum that connects different areas of study cutting across STEM subjects including language learning by emphasizing unifying various concepts.
It is the duty of the schools and teachers to go for integration that focuses cross-curricular activities and multidisciplinary approaches to provide learning experiences through meaningful activities in STEM areas and real life including the issues of sustainability and climate changes,” remarked Dr Inshore saying that he has also developed an English language course for grade 6 students at Navodaya Vidyalaya, Khunga Kothi, Jind in 1986.
With the NCERT and CBSE encouraging STEM based skilling courses with credits system of assessment, the schools should try out 50-hour courses at the middle school level with the centrality of bicycle as the theme of learning.
