What is Hamaari Kaksha?
Hamaari Kaksha is a 5-day immersive camp for middle school educators, teaching math and science. Our vision is to enable and empower teachers in creating visual, contextual, relevant and engaging math & science classrooms.
During the camp, participants will engage with the Aavishkaar team & each other from 9AM to 5PM including lunch and tea breaks. Sessions across the camp will include spaces that will explore several middle school math & science concepts, Ganit & Vigyan charchas and exploration tasks.
