This was a truly unique experience for me as it was very different compared to our regular examinations. Not only did I find a way to apply all that I had learned in Math such as percentages, averages, etc. and in Science such as microorganisms like Coronavirus, fossil fuels, and their environmental impact, energy sources, etc. but interestingly found that both subjects in real life have such a close connection. It was truly satisfying to solve a real-life situation in the form of my research question and had lots of fun, using tools like Google Slides and PowToons which is an easy animation app. There were new experiences like learning about the MLA method of citation which was new and challenging as well as creating a plan for the 4 weekly submissions all leading up to the final presentation. I want to thank all the teachers involved from Ms. Prajakta to Ms. Fatema to Ms. Namrata for all their support and guidance without which this would not have been possible. I hope this format of PBL continues into the next year as well.

Tribes for Good: Community Project
Through our partnership with Tribes For Good, Grade 11 student Vipanshi Agarwal designed and led a series of workshops for women with skills in beauty and makeup — combining financial literacy, confidence-building, and awareness of cruelty-free practices. What she found was that the skills were already there. What was missing was someone connecting those skills to the idea of income. This is her reflection on what it means to create impact, and what she learned when she stopped trying to teach and started listening.
Zine, Cosmetics of Capitalism – A passion project
Cosmetics of Capitalism began with two things that had always run parallel in Vipanshi’s life: a deep commitment to animal welfare and a growing curiosity about the economic systems that allow cruelty to persist. In this zine, Vipanshi Agarwal investigates the ethical and economic costs of animal testing in the cosmetics industry — an issue she argues is as much a business question as a moral one.
