    We extend a warm invitation to students, educators, families, and the entire community to join us for 'Ganitha Mela'. The event is open for everyone and fill in the form to register:   https://forms.gle/hHEyaNaZ1qQzMD1N6

Quest Fest

We have curated a very exciting event "Quest Fest" for you.

    ‘Quest Fest’ contest is to celebrate simple, unique observations and questions from both students and teachers. Science often begins with a simple, unique but puzzling observation or a question. Yet, school students as well as teachers are seldom given this opportunity in our schools. The idea behind this contest is to provide them with this enriching opportunity and celebrate the process of science rather than just the results. We also have exciting prizes lined up! 🎉

Science week (26th Feb- 6th March)

We have curated a variety of exciting events for you. Go ahead and pick one or more from the list...

    Events: 
    1. Science week (26th Feb- 6th March) Science is the systematic study of the world through observation, questioning and experiments. It uses qualitative and quantitative methods to understand and explain the observable phenomena. However, science in our school textbooks is often presented as a summary of facts or a set of instructed activities that needs to be performed; or in the case of math, a set of formulae to be remembered. This National Science Day, The Academy Trust, Indian Academy of Sciences in collaboration with Seed2Sapling Education aims to give students & teachers an engaging experience of scientific & mathematical thinking and other subject process skills. The details of the events can be found in the poster.
    2. Joy of learning: A 12 week certificate course for science and math teachers The science week celebration will be followed by other long-term engagements with teachers and students. A 12 week long certificate program will be conducted for a selected group of science and math teachers. The aim is to provide teachers opportunities to explore and experience the diverse aspects of Science and Math along with discussions & ideas on classroom implementation.
    3. Quest-Fest ‘Quest-Fest’ contest is to celebrate simple, unique observations and questions from both students and teachers. Science often begins with a simple, unique but puzzling observation or a question. Yet, school students as well as teachers are seldom given this opportunity in our schools. The idea behind this contest is to provide them with this enriching opportunity and celebrate the process of science rather than just the results.

The joy of learning Science

About the Program 

“Light travels in a straight line.”

Students often learn science as a book of facts to be understood or memorized. On the contrary, the process of science is full of thrill, excitement, experimenting, evidence based thinking, and sometimes the joy of discovery. Science thus becomes a way of thinking and knowing the world rather than just a ‘subject’.

Question 1: Will it be good if our students too are given an opportunity to go through this exciting and engaging process of science?

Question 2: If yes, how can we provide this in the classrooms, given the different constraints?

Having a discussion on these two questions, and inspiring the participants to become life-long learners is the main goal of our program.

    Why Attend This Program? 
  • Discuss ideas to make science classes more engaging, both online and offline, with a focus on making virtual sessions engaging using different technological tools and techniques
  • Engage in interesting scientific explorations and experiments
  • Experience the fun of problem solving and the joy of discovery
  • Practical ideas to improve the skills like observation, curiosity, critical thinking of your students
  • Teacher Professional Development
  • Opportunity to network with fellow participants from diverse backgrounds
  • Get an E-Certificate after successful completion of the course

    • Program Details 
  • Duration: 90 mins session
  • 6 sessions(online) with continuous offline engagement
  • Ideal weekly time commitment from teachers: 90 minutes online session + ~1 hour per week of offline engagements

    • The discussion will take place in the backdrop of some intriguing science explorations right from the school curriculum itself. In our experience, this approach brings alive science classrooms in both, the online and offline modes.

    The module will be executed through 6 sessions of online interactions along with offline interactions in between the sessions with interested participants. The final session flow will be decided based on the interests of registered participants. This will be determined through a pre-workshop survey. The general outline of the workshop is as follows:
  • To get a glimpse of what we do and how we do, you can watch this introductory session(19th July,2021):
    •   The joy of learning science through the scientific process


    Timing: 4:00 - 5:30 PM for all the 6 sessions below.

Dialogue on Learning- How to bring out the joy of doing math?

About the Program 

“To find if a number is divisible by 3, just add its digits and check if this sum is divisible by 3”.

Most often, students learn mathematics by simply being told the different methods and properties. On the contrary, for a mathematician, this process is an adventure. There is a lot of wonder, lots of playing around with mathematical objects, thrill of experiencing twists and turns during the process, and finally, in some cases, the joy of discovery.

Question 1: Will it be good if our students too are given an opportunity to go through what a mathematician goes through?

Question 2: If yes, how can we provide this in the classrooms, given the different constraints?

Having a discussion on these two questions, and motivating the participants to become independent mathematical explorers is the main goal of our program.

    Why Attend This Program? 
  • Make the process of Maths joyful and enriching for both yourselves & students. Experience the fun of problem solving and the joy of discovery
  • Cultivate & enhance skills like observation, questioning, curiosity, critical thinking & reasoning, mathematical thinking of yourselves & your students
  • Adapt to pedagogies like inquiry, discovery, discussion & analysis-based teaching learning methods
  • Take forward leaps in becoming NEP-ready & your journey of Professional Development
  • Opportunity to network & discuss with fellow participants from diverse backgrounds
  • Get an E-Certificate after successful completion of the course

    • Program Details 
  • Duration: 90 mins session
  • 5 program sessions(online) on consecutive Saturdays starting from June 19: Jun 19, 26, July 3, 10 and 17.
  • Timing: 4:00 - 5:30 PM for all the 5 sessions.

  • Continuous offline engagement
  • Ideal weekly time commitment from teachers: 90 minutes online session + ~1 hour per week of offline engagements
  • Fee: Rs. 2370/-


    The pedagogical discussion will take place in the backdrop of some beautiful mathematical explorations arising right from school mathematics itself. Some recreational math topics will also be taken up for exploration. Further, the dialogue and explorations will be seasoned with interesting episodes about mathematics and mathematicians. We hope that this will motivate the participants to undertake a further study of the fascinating history of the subject.

    The exploratory topics that will be taken during the workshop are (not necessarily in the following order)


  • Problems from recreational mathematics
  • Why we don’t have SSA congruency, and more on triangles
  • Make your own formulae: An encounter with Algebra
  • On one of the oldest mathematical procedure : The Euclidean Algorithm
  • Topic of popular demand*
    • * Participants can suggest special mathematical topics that they are interested in exploring which may be considered for this session.
    Who Should Enroll?  The course is aimed at school teachers, educators, home-schooling parents interested in math education & pedagogy. The course is open for teachers across all classes.
