Our Story
The current education system in our country is plagued by dismal standards, with heavy reliance on outdated pedagogical practices and memorization. There is an evident dearth of cutting edge work in school education, geared towards inculcating scientific temper and evidence-based thinking.
These were the key gaps which prompted Sarit & Sandhya (both IIT/NIT alumnus & PhD in Electrical Engineering from USA), to relocate to India with hopes of igniting the young minds in the areas of Science and Math.
When Sandhya and Sarit came back, they worked as parent-support to the government school in which their daughter was admitted. They spent four years volunteering in a rural Government School to understand its joys and challenges. Through that journey of teaching and learning themselves they found the idea of Aavishkaar driving them. Looking for better ways to teach led them to in-depth research of various Math and Science concepts and the reach of their well-researched methods of teaching could now be expanded.
Founded in 2014, Aavishkaar has become a pioneer in delivering high-quality Science and Math education, reaching some of the most remote schools and communities in the country.
Vision
To nurture curious, creative and critical thinking citizens of tomorrow.·
Curiosity: We love when children question to understand the world around them. But somehow, it fades with time. We want them to be curious about life!
Creativity: Curiosity and interest often lead to the creation of new ideas. We want students to never stop exploring and not be afraid to make mistakes.
Critical thinking: Analyzing and questioning leads to critical thinking. We want children to be observant and justify their opinions with evidence.
Mission
Aavishkaar’s mission is to enable, equip & empower educators and students to rekindle their creativity, curiosity and critical thinking in Science and Math.
We endeavor to make Science and Math experiential, hands-on/minds-on, engaging, immersive and accessible to all. Our core belief is that evidence-backed content that is rigorous and relevant can fundamentally transform the classroom experience for the child.
