Empowering Education through Science on Wheels Initiative

"Vasundhara's Science on Wheels program aims to enhance science education by making regular school visits, developing new syllabus and teaching methods, involving students in extracurricular activities, and improving teachers' skills. The current program includes hands-on activities, experiments, and demonstrations, with plans to incorporate audio-visual programs. The initiative also focuses on out-of-school activities, teacher development workshops, and integration of science, math, and geography in the curriculum. With a budget of Rs. 7,00,000, the program aims to expand to upper primary schools and enhance STEM education in Maharashtra. Princeton Chapter of Asha for Education seeks partnership with Maharashtra Foundation for this project."
