Agastya's unique 172-acre campus located at Gudivanka, Andhra Pradesh is a cradle of creative learning, a "factory of ideas". The campus that impacts thousands of children by its Hands one teaching every year (600+ children a day) boasts multiple Science Labs, a Model-making Workshop, Art and Ecology Labs, a Discovery Centre, and a Teacher Education Centre. Learning is disseminated via Agastya's hub- and-spoke outreach channels (Science Centers as hubs and Mobile Labs as spokes).
The schooling system in India has produced education apathy and high out-of-school rates. Infrastructure, teaching facilities and use of technology that fosters child participation in experiential learning is non-existent. Consequently there is a mismatch between academic and professional success. Agastya observed the need for having an experiential, hands-on & child-centric teaching methodology and choose to address this critical constraint.
Agastya's Campus Creativity Lab attracts 500+ children from surrounding government schools every day through various hands-on teaching labs, the Discovery Center, the center for creative teaching, Eco-lab and evening community visits, IT, Library and Community reading centre and a Teacher Education centre. Agastya draws children into a world where learning is pure joy.
Hands-on STEM learning gives students to engage in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics through interactive, practical activities. Instead of learning passively, students get to experiment, build, create, and explore real-world problems, which helps deepen their understanding of concepts. This method encourages problem-solving, critical thinking, and creativity.
