Overview

Why should kids join this program?

Do you want the lights at your home to automatically turn on at 6 pm? How about an alert once the cooker whistles thrice? No more boring theories; Learn by doing!

Ken Watanabe, an elite McKinsey consultant wrote ‘Problem-solving 101’ for Japanese school children. His goal was to help shift the focus in Japanese education from rote learning to critical thinking, by sharing some of the insights that he learned as part of his job.

Inspired by this approach and our love for technology, we offer ‘Young Inventor’- an automation course, where kids learn to identify problems they see in their day to day life and solve them on their own using technology.

Highlights of the program

  • Access to Expert interaction sessions
  • Access to Field trips
  • Eligibility to present the work on Mango Showcase day-2020
  • A real-life, hands-on project with Educator guidance
  • Participate in Peer interaction forums

Mango Education is a wonderful venture. My son just loves his time there. Obuli and Arumugam are really passionate about Science and teaching kids. Be it their crash course or their star gazing night or their latest scientist interaction programme, it's all very innovative and interesting for the kids and parents.
