Why A Club?
Clubs create an excellent platform for kids to learn in a structured manner and discover the joy of collaboration. The Science At Home Club is a learning community where parents and kids come together to experience simple and fascinating ways of learning science from home with support from a course facilitator.

Overview
Objectives
For Parents
- Create a community of parents to design and share experiences for children in the club
- Empower parents to create learning experiences for their children at home
For The Child
- Help children learn 'how to learn'
- Enable children to learn through observations and experimentation instead of overloading them with concepts
Why Should You Be A Part Of This Club?
With the current pandemic situation, sending our children anywhere outside puts them at risk.
At the same time, their learning should never stop. Science at Home Club will ensure that your child learns even by staying at home and also have a virtual peer-group to learn from!
- Science at Home is an initiative by Mango Education. We are pioneers in the field of science education. Our team's cumulative experience in this field is more than 40 years.
- Our team comprises of parents like you who have 5 to 7-year-old kids. So, the club is designed meticulously keeping both the child and the parent in mind.
- Learning through clubs has been effective and our students are a testimony for that.
- A life long network of like-minded peers for the kids and you as well.
The Scientific Foundation
What neuroscience says about learning at this age
Neuroscience reveals that the exposure given to children between 5 to 7 years strengthens the millions of synapses produced during this phase. To avoid saturation, the absorbing mind of a child needs to be allowed to explore and experience the world around them.
Between birth and the age of 6, children experience “sensitive periods” for learning specific skills. Once a sensitive period has passed, it is lost forever. Hence, it is crucial that parents/caregivers support the child during this period. These sensitive periods are 'optimal points during development for mastering certain tasks'.
At MAngo Science At Home Club, the child is exposed to diverse activities and experiences that strengthen their synaptic transmission and build their capacity.
"Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn"
