Mobile Science Lab is an innovative initiative in the area of education by Tech Mahindra Foundation. It is a bus that visits the primary government schools in Delhi as a traveling laboratory for hands-on activities of EVS (Science) and facilitates the learning of students from Classes 3 to 5. The project aims at encouraging the students to inculcate an experiential learning environment and empowering government school educators to design creative ways to nurture the budding scientists/environmentalists. Therefore, further improving the education system by providing adequate infrastructure to facilitate scientific learning in government schools.

Mobile Science lab is equipped with inquiry-based curricular materials and equipment that are engaging, substantive and thought-provoking for effective teaching-learning processes. The vehicle was procured from the Mahindra Trucks and Buses Limited and has been developed by My Stem Lab. Mobile Science Lab was launched on 20th November 2019 on the occasion of World Children’s Day. It is an innovative project by the Foundation which has been designed for social development through capacity building of the beneficiaries. The project has had a perceptible impact on the teaching-learning process of EVS and empowered teachers to create happier classrooms.
