Under the Unnat Bharat Abhiyan (UBA) scheme, the National Institute of Technology Calicut (NIT-C) has set up a science tinkering laboratory at the Government L.P. School, Chenoth, at Chathamangalam in the Kunnamangalam sub district.
The UBA Cell at the NIT-C has proposed various initiatives to upgrade the school as a Centre of Excellence at the village level, fostering holistic development of the children. NIT-C Director Prasad Krishna inaugurated the laboratory recently.
The tinkering laboratory has been designed to make learning concrete and easy for the students by providing visual experiences and making science learning action-oriented and experiential. It has various equipment and physical models to explore the fundamentals of science, mathematics, and biology aligning to the curriculum of lower primary education.
