Hands-On STEM Activities for Kids Across India

STEMLab India offers carefully designed hands-on STEM activities for preschoolers and school children from Grade 1 to Grade 7. Our STEM activities are mapped to all major Indian school boards — NCERT, CBSE, Tamil Nadu Samacheer Kalvi, Cambridge Primary and Oxford International — so every project connects directly to what your child learns in school.

Every STEM activity follows one principle: children learn best when they build something real. Whether it is launching a water rocket, making ice cream in a bag, generating electricity from a potato or building a shape model — every project gives your child a hands-on understanding of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics that no textbook can provide.

🔬 Science Activities for Kids

Hands-on science experiments covering states of matter, acids and bases, force and motion, weather and energy — all mapped to Indian school syllabuses.

💻 Technology Projects

Electronics, circuits and coding projects for school children. Kids build real working technology from the very first session.

⚙️ Engineering Challenges

Design and build challenges including robotics and model making that develop engineering thinking in school children.

📐 Maths Activities

Hands-on maths activities for preschoolers covering shapes, measurement, patterns and numbers — making maths visible and fun.

STEM Activities Mapped to All School Boards

Our STEM activities for school children complement your child's school curriculum. Each project is mapped to learning objectives from:

📚 NCERT / CBSE 🏫 Samacheer Kalvi — Tamil Nadu 🌍 Cambridge Primary (0096) 📖 Oxford International
