There is science everywhere. Process of understanding Science develops Scientific temperament, questioning, logical thinking and rationality. The premise of scientific rationalism is based on understanding reason and logic to make a better sense of the world.
Science for All
Learning Science by understanding in children helps shape their capabilities of observing physical reality, testing, analyzing, hypothesizing, Communicating. Children are naturally curious about cause and effect which in turn makes them eager to learn all about the “hows” and “whys” of the world -. time, but it does even more by equipping the present with tools for moulding the scientific thinkers of tomorrow.
Science in Schools
We make science learning fun, engaging for young people and children by exposing them to the joy of scientific inquiry. Through expert interactions, visits to leading research facilities, and participation in real experiments, we inspire them to stay curious. Science enrichment program enables teachers and students to engage with science by doing and communicating in the classroom. Teachers using the demo models from the Science activity kits will be able to create an experiential and activity-based classroom.
