"All of us do not have equal talents. But all of us should have an equal opportunity to develop our talents."

A.P.J Abdul Kalam

Yearn to Learn has so far launched 35 laboratories of Science and Math in 9 schools. These laboratories are benefiting 6000 students. Furthermore some schools are sharing their laboratories with other nearby government schools as well.

With fully equipped Yearn to Learn labs in their very own premises, the children from these schools are now learning Math, Physics, Chemistry and Biology through practical experiments.

Students who had never seen labs before are now creating vacuum cleaners, blenders, periscopes, multi-reflection boxes and are seen conducting and demonstrating chemistry experiments with confidence.

"This encouragement will make our students improve in their further education and higher studies. The labs not only give the students the required material for doing experiments but also encourages them to get more involved in their studies". Lovedale Foundation.

"Our students although knowledgeable in theory were lacking in doing experiments due to lack of scientific equipment. However now with setting up of these Science Labs our students are sure to excel in scientific experiments". Swamy Vivekananda School.

“It is very hard to sweep a small portion of the house on a daily basis, imagine sweeping an entire floor of a school”, says Vikas. Vikas was moved by the sight of an old lady sweeping the floor of his school. He informed his principal who then assigned the sweeping task to a younger lady. However Vikas did not stop here. This incident inspired him to create a vacuum cleaner that would ease the hard work of sweeping. He used an empty plastic bottle,

"Our students have done well in Science both at school and college with 11 distinctions and 43 first class. Some of the top scorers are from Sahakarnagar (the branch where the labs have been set up)".  Kalpana Singh, Head of Junior College, Parikrma Centre for Learning.

Prem Kumar B is a 7th grade student and loves science. His father works as a mason. In one of the practical classes at Yearn to Learn lab he tried his hand at making something useful and ended up creating a blender. Watch his video where he explains how he made it.

a 9V battery, a small motor, a netted cloth, and a small piece of thin metal sheet in round shape which cost him approximately Rs. 120. It took him days to come up with a perfect model and finally he created a low cost vacuum cleaner. “But all this would not have been possible without the help of my Science teacher and Yearn to Learn labs. Yearn to Learn has provided us with full fledged science labs at our school. This helped me and many more students to get creative with our ideas”, says Vikas. Vikas is a 7th grade student at Divine Mercy School. His father works at a fabrication factory.
