Muktangan Exploratory Science Centre

Our Pi Day workshop was a joyful blend of learning, creativity, and fun.

Through a variety of activities, students explored the origin and history of Pi, practiced calculations, and learned why Pi is such an important mathematical constant. They also discussed its many applications in everyday life and science, helping them connect classroom concepts with the real world.

To make the celebration even more memorable, students also enjoyed a cheerful pizza party, where they got to explore a little kitchen chemistry along the way.

It was wonderful to see students engage with mathematics in such an interactive and enjoyable way.

This International Women's Day, we celebrate the incredible women who bring science to life at Muktangan Exploratory Science Center.

In this women led organization our educators turn curiosity into discovery every day, inspiring young minds to question, explore, and experiment.
Today, we celebrate the women who illuminate the path of learning and continue to shape the future of science education.

This workshop is ideal for students, cycling enthusiasts, and curious learners interested in understanding the mechanics behind something we use every day.

At Muktangan Exploratory Science Center, the celebration of National Science Day was a vibrant three-day journey of curiosity, creativity, and discovery.

Day 1 featured a Drawing Competition and Science Quiz, where students explored scientific ideas through art, imagination, and critical thinking.

On Day 2, we had the privilege of hosting an international session under the British Council’s GREAT initiative with Jen Gupta, who spoke about exploring the universe and the importance of engaging the public with astronomy.

Day 3 brought everyone together for a joyful Science Carnival, a special lecture on Physics, and the Prize Distribution Ceremony, celebrating the enthusiasm and achievements of participating students.

It was wonderful to see so many schools participate and to connect with students, parents, teachers, and science enthusiasts over these three days. Moments like these remind us how powerful curiosity and community can be in nurturing a love for science.

Celebrating National Science Day with young innovators!

At Muktangan Exploratory Science Centre, we believe science becomes meaningful when students connect concepts with real-world challenges.

With the generous CSR support of Sandvik Coromant India, our centre has recently been solar electrified, strengthening our commitment to sustainability and clean energy. As part of this collaboration, we launched a three-month STEM learning program designed to nurture the next generation of Science Champions.

Our first cohort includes six enthusiastic students from the Sandvik-supported tinkering lab at Lokmanya Tilak Phugewadi School (PCMC). Every weekend, these young learners traveled to the centre to explore, experiment, and build their understanding of science beyond the classroom.

Facilitated by Yojak, the program focused on hands-on learning in physics, chemistry, electronics, applied STEM, and skill development, encouraging students to think critically and design solutions for real-world challenges.

Impact of the initiative:
☀️ Promoting renewable energy through solar electrification
📚 Strengthening experiential STEM education
🌍 Supporting the goals of Quality Education (SDG 4) and Affordable & Clean Energy (SDG 7)

On National Science Day, we celebrate the curiosity, dedication, and creativity of these young Sandvik Coromant STEM Champions.

Together, partnerships like these help us nurture future innovators and build a more sustainable tomorrow.
