An on-the-spot Work Experience item in which a child wires a simple electrical circuit, judged on workload, skill, materials knowledge and usefulness.
Electrical Wiring asks a child to wire a simple circuit with switches, holders and lamps on a board, following a given diagram, safely and neatly.
In the Kerala School Sasthrolsavam Work Experience Fair (Pravrutthiparichayamela) it is an on-the-spot item for individual entrants, open to girls and boys at Lower Primary (classes 1-4), Upper Primary (classes 5-7), High School (classes 8-10) and Higher Secondary/VHSE (classes 11-12). Each child works alone for a fixed period at the venue, with the product then displayed for viewing at the district and state stages. Children at every level enter, with the same four-line score sheet applied throughout; judges simply expect more finish, accuracy and technical understanding from older entrants.
The child lays out the board, cuts and strips wire, connects the switch, holder and plug, and tests the circuit. Judges check neat routing, firm connections and safety.
Every Work Experience item uses the fair’s single shared score sheet: the workload and the child’s own contribution carry 40 marks, skill and completeness 25, knowledge of raw materials and tools 20, and social utility, speciality and marketability 15. For electrical wiring, that means all the wiring done by the child earns the workload marks, tidy and correct connections show skill, naming parts and tools shows knowledge, and a safe, working circuit earns the utility marks.
