My Speech:

  • Its a new experience for us to work with the young children(i.e 4th – 7th Grade).
  • We use Montessori materials to learn math and we also do hands on work(Aravind Gupta Science Toys) to learn some of the  concepts in science class.
  • The children have the courage to create their own science and electronics projects .
  • They are also creative and interested in doing hands on work.
  • The children here are responsible for their learning and as well as for the materials in STEM Land.
