Iken Scientifica Summer Camps For Students

MEXUS EDUCATION has launched Iken Scientifica Summer camp a series of summer workshops

for students to gain hands-on experience and apply theoretical concepts in a real-world simulation of the industry as a market place.

Mexus Education, a Mumbai based education innovations enterprise, launches Iken Scientifica Workshops where students get a chance to experience real-world situations in a simulated learning environment. The summer camps will be conducted from 15th April to 30th April in schools across Mumbai, Thane and Navi Mumbai in two sessions for 3.5 hour everyday. At the summer camp, students work in teams in an open market of raw materials, tools, fabricators and knowledge experts to create useful machines. The educational objectives of the workshops in the summer camp are design technology, application of scientific principles, planning, team-work, time management and negotiation skills.

Like in an ecosystem, a student benefits and evolves through the workshop series

The workshop focuses on product design and development wherein students are challenged with 70 different unique problem statements which covers topics like design technology, mechanics, scientific concepts, model making, sustainable development etc. that they can resolve by applying theoretical understanding of concepts. For instance, a problem statement such as make a mobile phone charger which runs on wind energy or make a robot using a watch, cell phone and a toothbrush will be given to students for which they need to find solutions to and execute their concept with materials and resources available at the workshop.

Speaking on the initiative, Saurabh Saxena, Director, Mexus Education says, These workshops at the Iken Scientifica Summer Camp will give students, for the first time ever, a chance to experience, experiment and learn in a real-world environment beyond the classroom. It is an extension of our education philosophy which emphasizes practical, hands-on, interactive learning is the best method of teaching a child. With Iken Scientifica Summer Camps we hope to encourage out-of-the-box thinking and provide an ideal environment for students to have freedom to think, innovate and apply theoretical knowledge while gaining critical life skills like working in a team, leadership, negotiation and persuasion skills. We intend to scale-up and conduct these workshops under the Iken Scientifica banner across India after the first phase is completed in Mumbai.
