An on-the-spot Work Experience item at High School and Higher Secondary/VHSE in which a student fabricates a product using fibre material.
Fabrication using fibre means shaping products from fibre materials, such as moulded or layered fibre articles and fibre-reinforced shapes.
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 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. It is an item for the older levels, so judges expect precise workmanship and a clear understanding of materials and tools.
The student prepares the fibre, forms it on a mould or frame, bonds and sets it, then trims and finishes. Judges look at shape, strength and finish.
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 fabrication using fibre, that means shaping the product yourself earns the workload marks, a smooth, strong form shows skill, knowing fibres, resins or binders and tools shows knowledge, and a durable product earns the utility marks.
