Arvind Gupta's India

 

2015 Summer Program

Arvind Gupta is a science educator in India. As a young teacher, he realized that play prepares the mind for science if the right tools and toys are available. He knew that many children have little to experiment with. He dedicated his life to inventing simple toys to capture big ideas. He has inspired followers who have added to his remarkable designs. We too admire and follow his designs.

Construct ingenious tops and balance toys, magnet toys and motors, whistles and drums, paper folding and weaving. Wind mills and water squirters to play with, to experiment with, to learn practical science.

Though the experiments are universal, learn to notice the small touches that reflect the flavor and culture of India.
