Being a learner-centric platform, we regularly host workshops, activities and sessions for middle and secondary stage high-school learners (Age Group Class 5 onward). We conduct it in small groups allowing us to provide each learner with individual attention that they need in order to get the most out of our programs. We also conduct workshops for schools in their premises. We design and conduct customized courses as per the curricular requirements. Here are some of the workshops from domains such as engineering-technology, design thinking, systems thinking.
Technology based…
- How things work? (focus on analysis working scientific principles, usability, function & constructions of a product)
- How things work? (focus on mechanical concepts and elements of mechanisms in everyday products)
- Toy based learning (our featured course with toy based pedagogy)
- Introductory digital 3D sculpt modelling (hands-on with a cloud based platform)
