LOGO
Our focus is on developing alternative methods and materials which help children learn concepts and make connections with what they already know and experience in their real life. Our logo, a common paper toy is used symbolically to represent our learning apparatus. This toy is usually made of ordinary paper but if it is used in a particular way, it can explain the scientific principles behind windmills and turbines.
Similar to a paper toy, the material, and design of our learning apparatus is very close to the real-life of children. They can think and feel with them. The inherent properties of familiar materials are used. Appropriate activities have been developed so that while using them a learner discovers knowledge, and several new ideas are triggered. Thus, enhancing the quality of instruments through which children look at, interpret and make different concepts intelligible.
