Children experience science everyday from dawn to dusk. But, how much of this science do they truly analyse, appreciate, apply or even understand?
Anubhava Science Foundation has been conceptualised with the aim of providing an experiential learning environment for children in the field of science. Anubhava propels the child to "inquire".
Anubhava Science Foundation (ASF) is a Charitable Trust registered in 2008. ASF aims to work towards strengthening science education in existing school system in India. One of the main initiatives of ASF is to work with government school teachers and tent school facilitators.

Philosophy/Beliefs
Anubhava Science Foundation builds upon the natural curiosity of young children. The activity-based approach provides concrete experiences strengthening the child's capacity to construct abstract formulations. These experiences help children to arrive at the principles, theories and laws governing the natural world. The experiences create awareness and sensitivity in the child towards application of science to things in everyday life thereby exposing him to the fundamentals of science principles.
