NURTURING BRILLIANCE THROUGH COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT

Empowering Minds: Exploring STEAM Education

Implementation Partner: Agastya International Foundation

Our STEAM education program is designed to boost confidence, curiosity, and engagement in STEAM education. We inspire learners to explore the wonders of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics through our initiatives. To date, we have reached 20,000 students through various projects. Here are some of the key projects we have undertaken:

Anasuya Melligeri Science and Technology Centre: This centre offers government school students hands-on science learning experiences. Spread over 10,000+ sq ft, it includes laboratories for Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Biology, Robotics, Computer, IT & Media, and Ecology, along with a library and assembly hall. The centre also provides transportation for students from their respective schools.
Mobile Science Labs (MSL): MSL offers computer learning, Lab on Tab, and Home Lab Kits for hands-on learning experiences. The project identifies and trains young instructors, organizes science fairs and competitions, and trains teachers to enhance their teaching skills.
Avishkar: This science model-making competition and exhibition for beneficiary schools in Belgavi, Dharwad, and Koppal helps gauge the impact and outcomes of our ongoing efforts and learning initiatives.
‘Vasantha’ After School Programs: This initiative provides learning opportunities after school hours for students in grades 4 to 8. It engages students in arts and crafts, origami, and fun science activities that connect to the real world, enhancing their listening, reading, writing, and speaking skills.
Teacher’s Training: This program trains and motivates teachers, exposing them to computer learning, health and hygiene awareness, and STEAM education. In the STEAM segment, “Make Your Own Lab,” teachers are trained to create low-cost models using readily available materials.
Yuvacharya: This initiative trains B.Ed. college students specializing in science to become better future teachers. These projects are part of our commitment to fostering a love for STEAM education and helping students reach their full potential.
