Masti ki Paathshaala

Bored of the monotonous lectures where you simply pour your creativity on your desks by sketching abstruse art which helps you to hoodwink the teacher? ;-)

Common… you are not the kinds who can sit passively and go through the monologue; you’d rather wish to experiment and discover it yourself…

Welcome home! You’re not the only one… most of us either find solace in our desks (that’s if it is out of teachers view) or the watch (that’s if it ticks fast…but they never do…damn…theory of relativity personified!) during the lecture.

If only we could go to the labs and do some R N D! If only we could experiment, investigate and write our own inferences, rather than learning them verbatim from textbooks. Wish we didn’t have to write lengthy theory. Wish exams were not as intimidating as they are. L

Masti ki paathshaala… the terms sounds filmsical…doesn’t it? But don’t be dejected the silver line is…the emergence of the edutainment era… having fun while you learn. It can be learning through entertaining media like films, comic strips, quizzes… well, most of you’ll who would’ve been to scientifica would have had a fair idea about edutainment.

Scientifica is the quintessential hands on science and technology competition for students of standard 5th to 8th. It’s now being conducted in over 21 cities, 1200 schools. Sounds big? It is! The best part of scientifica is that it requires no textual theoretical knowledge, but lots of common sense and of course curiosity to learn. Not only do you learn, experiment, compete but you also take home prizes worth Rs.50 lacs! If you are the kind who likes to take up challenges, likes to have fun, likes to learn and be called the Student Icon of India…then see you at scientifica.
