Grooming future scientists and engineers from the root through fun learning concept

The development of the Fun Learning Toy Library is beneficial in many ways. The STEM concept Fun Learning Toy Library provides a conducive environment for pre-school children to develop their interest in science and technology at a very young age. It is hoped that with the facility in place at rural...

The STEM concept Fun Learning Toy Library provides a conducive environment for pre-school children to develop their interest in science and technology at a very young age.

The enjoyable and fun learning concept of learning 'difficult' subjects like sciences and mathematics has also overcome the trauma effect of the natural disaster that the students face.
