Kinaesthetic Intelligence Competition 2013-14

To provide an opportunity to all those students who possess a dominant, innate kinaesthetic ability, a team of teachers at AVM planned for an Interhouse Kinaesthetic Intelligence Competition to be conducted in October ’13. Different activities were designed for different age groups of students.
