Summer vacations may close school doors, but at GIIS Nagpur, learning never stops. This year, we launched the 10-Day Skill-Based Global Summer Adventure 2025, giving students a joyful yet impactful platform to explore sports, STEM, arts, innovation, and creativity.
Over the course of 10 days, children didn’t just attend workshops — they discovered their passions, expressed themselves, made lifelong friends, and gained future-ready skills.
What Is the Need for Skill-Based Learning in India?
- A 2024 survey by PARAKH (NCERT) revealed that only 47% of schools in India offer skill-based courses in Class IX and above, and just 29% of students opt for them (India Today).
- India is projected to produce 18 million STEM graduates by 2027, highlighting the urgency to build innovation skills early (India Today).
- The Hans India reports that STEM hiring in India will rise 15–20% by 2027, with Tier 2 & 3 cities driving nearly half this growth (Hans India).
GIIS Nagpur’s summer camp bridges this gap by exposing students as young as 5 years old to STEM, arts, sports, and creativity, long before such skills formally enter school curricula.
What Workshops Did Students Experience?
1. Maker Space (STEM)
- Group 1: Built a motion detection sensor and learned real-world uses in security & automation.
- Group 2: Designed a working windmill model to understand renewable energy.
- Students saw how innovation is transforming everyday life.
2. Radio Jockey Studio
- Mastered voice modulation and hosting techniques.
- Recorded mini-shows, boosting communication and confidence.
3. Nikon Photography Workshop

Who Was the Camp Designed For?
- Ages 5–9: Built foundation skills, embraced self-expression, developed curiosity.
- Ages 10–13: Explored advanced workshops, sharpened technical & creative abilities.
Mixed-age activities helped all students:
- Collaborate with peers across age groups.
- Gain mentorship from expert trainers.
- Discover new interests beyond school subjects.
Why Was Innovation Central to the Summer Camp?
Innovation isn’t optional anymore — it’s a necessity. With India preparing to graduate 18 million STEM professionals by 2027, early exposure to creativity and problem-solving gives children a competitive edge.
- STEM workshops encouraged design thinking & problem-solving.
- Arts and theatre promoted imagination & original expression.
- Sports and RJ training developed resilience & teamwork.
How Does This Camp Shape a Child’s Future?
- STEM: Familiarity with technologies that shape modern life.
- Creative arts: Tools for self-expression and communication.
- Sports: Values of fitness, discipline, and teamwork.
- Social skills: Confidence, adaptability, and collaboration.
In a country where less than half of schools provide skill courses, GIIS students gain a clear head start in both academics and life.
