Beyond Rote Learning. Beyond Marks.
A hands-on RoboSTEM thinking lab where children build projects, solve unfamiliar challenges, interact with scientists and innovators, and learn through real-world experimentation.
Visit the lab, understand the learning approach, explore current themes, and discover which program fits your child best.
Get updates about STEM challenges, workshops, edu-events, and upcoming sessions before deciding long-term.
Most children are trained to memorise answers.
But real life requires much more.
Schools and tuition classes often focus on syllabus completion, exams, and fixed answers.
But children also need environments where they can:
- build things with their own hands
- test ideas independently
- solve unfamiliar problems
- retry after mistakes
- explore how real systems work
- ask deeper questions
- think beyond step-by-step instructions
That is why FunSmartism exists.
“My child studies only for exams.”
“He keeps asking what to do next.”
“She memorises but struggles to apply.”
“Everything has become screen-based.”
“School never really shows how things work.”
“My child likes building things but has no proper environment.”
Sometimes parents accidently over help and child stops thinking. Parents don’t know when to step in and when to step back.
FunSmartism creates environments where children actively use thinking instead of only consuming information.
What Happens Inside FunSmartism?
Children do not sit through long lectures or copy fixed steps from notebooks or screens.
They build, open, test, redesign, discuss, and experiment through hands-on RoboSTEM themes across the academic year.
Depending on the month’s theme, students may:
build robots using sensors and electronics
open real appliances to understand how things work
create mechanical and electronic tech toys
design rockets and aeroplane models
solve hands-on STEM challenges
build roller coasters and structures using simple materials
explore astronomy and space science
redesign products through design thinking activities
create sci-fi stories and innovation concepts
improve logic through Rubik’s Cube, Sudoku, and math challenges
Children Don’t Just Learn Concepts.
They Interact with actual experts, people Building The Future.
Throughout the academic year, FunSmartism hosts special edu-events where students interact with:
Guests may include experts associated with organisations such as:
Dr. R. Mashelkar
Dr. Anil Kakodkar
Prof. Jayant Narlikar
S. Somanath (ISRO)
Arvind Gupta
A.K. Sinha
Kashinath Deodhar
Pramod Khandekar
Shirish Deshmukh
Dr. Mukund Muharir
Shrirang Gokhale

Expert Interaction
Year-long students receive priority opportunities to:
Experience real-world innovation culture beyond textbooks
Structured Like a Workshop.
Not a Tuition Class.
FunSmartism follows a focused exploratory approach.
Projects per themes and problems are pre-planned, but children are encouraged to explore different ways of building, testing, and solving as per their ideas.
For example:
- the project kit may be the same for everyone but how children experiment with them can vary
- students may combine ideas, redesign structures, or test different approaches
Weekend Format
3-hour sessions conducted on weekends during the academic year.
3 Offline Sessions Every Month
Hands-on building, RoboSTEM projects, experiments, challenges, testing, and discussions.
1 Online STEM Challenge Session
Flexible challenge-based sessions designed to encourage independent thinking even outside the classroom.
While Children Build and Solve, We Also Observe How They Approach Challenges.
During activities and challenges, facilitators naturally observe patterns that often come up at home too, but get unnoticed by parents
For example:
- Does the child retry independently?
- Do they jump-start before observing?
- Do they experiment patiently or give up quickly?
- Do they wait for instructions at every step?
- Do they test different ideas confidently?
These observations are shared with parents through examples and discussions — helping parents support learning without over-helping.
10 themes. 10 worlds to explore.
What Parents Often Notice Over Time
Parents often notice children becoming:
more independent while solving problems
less afraid of making mistakes
more curious about how things work
more willing to retry difficult tasks
more confident in unfamiliar situations
more interested in building and experimenting at home
more comfortable asking deeper questions
10-Day Thinking
RESET Workshop
A fast-paced hands-on RoboSTEM experience where children explore different themes each day through projects, challenges, experimentation, and creative problem-solving.
Designed Especially For Children Who:
- enjoy building and exploring
- are curious beyond textbooks
- need more active learning environments
- want exposure to multiple STEM domains
Experience FunSmartism Before Joining Long-Term
The 1-Day Parent Observation STEM Challenge gives families a glimpse into how children approach unfamiliar problem-solving situations — while parents watch, not instruct.
Children participate while parents observe:
Response to difficulty
how they handle something unfamiliar
Independent retry
whether they try again on their own
Testing ideas
how they approach experimenting
Uncertainty handling
how they react without ready answers
Parent Observation
A rare window into your child's natural thinking habits when facing something new.
Trusted by thinking parents.
"I came expecting a progress report like school. What I got was a conversation about how my daughter spends 10 minutes examining something before she ever tries to use it. That's not something any school has ever told me."
Priya M.
Parent · 11-year-old · Thinking Reset Workshop
"My son has been 'easily distracted' according to every teacher he's had. The team showed me he isn't distracted — he loses interest when the challenge isn't deep enough. That reframe changed everything."
Arvind M.
Parent · 13-year-old · Year-Long RoboSTEM Lab
"She built a working model on Day 4 and then quietly started dismantling it to see if she could build it differently. Nobody asked her to. That moment told me more than three years of school report cards."
Sunita R.
Parent · 10-year-old · Thinking Reset Workshop
"At first he kept asking for help every few minutes. Slowly he started retrying on his own. That shift was gradual — and it's stayed."

Parent · 9-year-old · Year-Long Program
"She came home and started opening old toys just to understand how they worked. I didn't expect that from a 10-day workshop."
