Dream. Design. Discover. – Igniting STEM Brilliance at Podar
At Podar International School, we’re not just preparing students for the future — we’re handing them the tools to create it! Through a vibrant mix of coding, design, robotics, and pure imagination, our STEM programs transform classrooms into launchpads of innovation.
From crafting circuits in the cloud to programming robots that dance and drive, our young creators are proving that when learning meets play, magic happens.
Tinkercad: Where Big Ideas Take Shape
Imagine a space where ideas aren’t just talked about — they’re built!
With Tinkercad, our students design, tinker, and innovate — creating everything from eco-smart homes to colorful keychains.
What’s Happening in Classrooms:
Circuit Sorcery:
LEDs flashing, buzzers buzzing — students wire up real-world circuits (virtually!) with zero risk, 100% curiosity.
3D Dreams:
Drag, drop, and ta-da! — geometric marvels, artistic models, and even robotic parts come to life.
Here, imagination isn’t just encouraged — it’s engineered.
Scratch: Where Coding Becomes Child’s Play
Welcome to a world where coding looks like a game — and feels even better!
With Scratch, even our youngest learners (Grades 1–4) turn colorful blocks into stories, games, and animated adventures.
What Our Coders Have Created:
Talking animals, flying spaceships, and dancing dinosaurs
Maze-chase games coded from scratch (pun totally intended)
“I made my own story where the cat flies to Mars. My parents were amazed!”
— Mehwish, Grade 2
“I never thought coding could be so fun! Now I want to become a game designer.”
— Aarav, Grade 5
At Podar, coding isn’t just another subject — it’s a playground of ideas.
VEX Robotics: Builders of the Future
When kids start thinking like engineers, amazing things happen.
Through VEX GO and VEX IQ, our budding roboticists dream up, build, and program robots that move, sort, sense, and think!
What We’re Building:
- Smart cars that follow tracks using sensors
- Claw robots that sort and pick objects
- Bots ready to race and challenge each other
Every build brings out creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking — with a side of high-fives and laughter!
Codey Rocky: Robots with Personality
Codey Rocky has rolled into our classrooms, bringing coding, robotics, and a lot of smiles with it.
Students control this charming bot with block coding and Python — making it flash emojis, navigate mazes, or even show emotions!
In the Works:
- Maze runners that conquer tricky tracks
- Happy bots that smile back at you
- LEGO-enhanced creations that blend bricks with brains
It’s not just robotics — it’s a whole new way to think, imagine, and express.
STEAMathon: Where Dreams Take Center Stage
Our annual STEAMathon Scratch Competition proves that you’re never too young to change the world.
Mission
Create projects that “Make the World Better”.
How
Games, stories, and animations bursting with creativity, heart, and innovation.
Beyond coding, students learned storytelling, resilience, design thinking — and the art of dreaming big.
The Podar Promise: Learning That Lights Up the Future
At Podar, we don’t just teach STEM — we ignite it.
Here, every student is a designer, coder, engineer, and inventor in the making.
Here, failures are experiments, and mistakes are stepping stones.
Here, curiosity leads the way — and the future is theirs to shape.
The best part?
This is just the beginning.
Dream. Build. Code. Create.
At Podar, the future isn’t something to wait for — it’s something we’re busy inventing.
