Activity 1

The Mystery of the Vanishing Instagram Reel

Kick off the session by asking everyone to imagine posting an Instagram reel, but suddenly all their likes and comments disappear whenever they refresh. Use this to spark curiosity about how objects keep track of data and behavior—hinting at the power of object-oriented design.

Activity 2

The Pizza Order Mix-Up in Swiggy

Challenge students by presenting three common beliefs about object-oriented programming, all through the lens of a Swiggy order chaos—like when pizzas, addresses, and delivery times get mixed up.

Why this works

Exposing misconceptions and making students vote before the reveal increases attention and creates surprise and correction.

Activity 3

The Silent Shopping Cart Challenge

Use a shopping cart analogy to invite everyone in the room to make a low-risk prediction: what happens if two shoppers add items to their cart at the same time, and the app doesn’t use objects?

Why this works

Low-pressure, anonymous participation gets everyone thinking, even those who hesitate to speak up. Focusing on shopping apps makes the question instantly relatable.

Activity 4

The College Event Ticket Dilemma

Turn up the energy with a quick-fire dilemma: at a college fest, the ticketing app lets anyone pick a role—student, organizer, or guest. Ask students to choose a role and predict which features they’d expect from the app, then vote in real-time.

Why this works

High-energy voting and role play activates the whole room, making abstract OOP roles concrete and fun.

Activity 5

The Uber Ride Trade-Off

Present a dilemma from the Uber app: does the app treat each trip as its own object, or share data across rides? Let students debate which design is safer and why before the reveal.

Why this works

Trade-off dilemmas help learners see the practical impact of design choices, driving care and discussion.

Activity 6

The Dream App Personalization Moment

Invite students to connect OOP to their ambitions: choose a dream project—like building a food delivery app, gaming leaderboard, or personal finance tracker—and identify one feature that would absolutely need object-oriented programming.

Why this works

Making learners personalize the concept, while actively picking a concrete feature, boosts motivation and meaning; it’s more memorable than passive journaling.
