The Concept - Accelerate

So now with the name ready, I was determined that nothing can stop me now. But why did "Accelerate" mean so much to me? Because it matches with the concept of the workshop - to enable students increase their speed of growing. The main content of the workshop was planned. The intention was to help students in competing with the outside world. It is about going beyond studies. It is about learning, growing and winning . Accelerate is about education beyond books and exams. It is about realizing one's creativity, to encourage to think and more improtantly to stress on the implementation of their thoughts. It is about expanding horizons and earning exposure. "Accelerate" is about accelerating!

The Idea - ACCELERATE

28th April 2009, Tuesday: Had been thinking since two days about what all to include in the summer workshop, what should be its name, how will i get the students and prior to that WILL i get students? So 2 hectic days of thinking and designing the first outline of the workshop. Designed a leaflet, revisited it, revised it and redesigned it. Finally I had it ready in my laptop, microsoft office word 2007, my first ever real time project but still nameless. Asked my Special Friends for suggestions for the names and even got few of the kind: Kreative Kidz, Summer Hungama, Vacation Bonanza etc. All very appealing and attractive but somehow just didnot click. And then suddenly, out-of-the-blue the word
"ACCELERATE" and then everything just fell into places.

the birth of ACCELERATE

26th April 2009, Sunday: Exams were just over and me along with my friends were going back home in Jamnagar Intercity - A.C. chaircar (well travelling in A.C. does mean a lot to us). It was then when we were discussing our vacation plans. Industrial Training, Playing Cricket, Reading Books, Learning new softwares would have been my answer would i have been asked. These may seem fair enough many activities to spend the time, also taking in account the amount of time I waste at home and with friends, but still it did'nt satisfy me. And thats when i decided to help mom with her tuition students and taking up a crash course for students and hence spend time and even end-up earning a few bucks. Then i quite forgot the idea by the time i reached home in the excitement of going home after almost one and half month. After relaxing and eating ghar-ka-khana when i was telling mom about my plans, she suddenly started telling about her students and the problems faced by them. Then is when the first bricks of "Accelerate" were laid and a normal crash-course plan gave way to a full-fledged Summer Workshop
