Workshops at schools in Maram, Chanoli and Satoli villages in the Himalayas, April 2016
Workshop report · April 2016
After Hiteshi, in the Indian Himalayas I also visited Jeevashala in village Maram, Government Junior High School in village Chanoli and Aarohi Bal Sansaar in village Chanoli. The theme was the same ‘Tinkering with Electronics’ and the objective was to explain to students how to think like a scientist and ignite their interest in science.
