The Yaksha

An Immersive Summer Experience

5th June – 21st June, 2025.

10 a.m – 5: 00 pm daily.

Earthlab Club Studio, Shivam Vihar, Dehradun

Theme: Myth, Memory & the Future of Nature

Welcome to EarthLab Club’s Young Creators Summer Programme 2025

At The Yaksha, your child doesn’t just learn—they build, invent, question, and create.

Inspired by the mythical guardians of the natural world, this 15-day young creator’s summer programme invites students aged 7 to 17 to imagine and design a world where rivers whisper, forests respond, and every sound tells a story. Together, we’ll bring to life an interactive exhibit powered by light, sound, tech, and narrative—designed by the kids themselves.

Programme Breakdown: Modules of Imagination

The Yaksha, Earthlab Club’s young creator’s summer programme is designed as four focused, skill-building modules—each led by field experts—woven into the larger world-building experience. Alongside these, the Set Design Lab runs throughout the programme and is exclusive to full-programme participants.

STORYTELLING LAB

Led by Mohd Hammad Farooqui
Build the myth. In this 2-day lab, participants create the characters, conflicts, and questions at the heart of The Yaksha. Drawing from folklore and nature, children shape the emotional and ethical spine of the entire experience.

DESIGN LAB

Led by Ansh Kumar
Light meets imagination. Through projection mapping and interactive art, children transform surfaces into living stories. They explore tools like TouchDesigner, sensors, and conductive materials to bring their designs to life. Group installations blend space, sound, and movement.

TECH LAB

Led by Ansh Kumar | Mentored by Sai Krishna
Where myth becomes machine. Participants design responsive, tech-driven elements—forests that speak, rivers that remember, systems that sense. Using sensors, sound, and movement, they build environmental stories that react to the world around them.

SOUND LAB

Led by Yash Nath Jha, Prashant Nawani & mentored by Naved Farooqui
Craft the sound of the story. Children build immersive soundscapes using loops, lyrics, rhythms, and ambient recordings. They score emotions, compose songs, and shape the sonic identity of The Yaksha—from whispers in the forest to the roar of forgotten gods.

SET DESIGN LAB

Led by Pratiksha Chauhan
The integrative core. Over 15 days, participants design and build The Yaksha’s immersive environment—combining story, tech, visuals, and sound. Think kinetic sculptures, elemental zones, and interactive spaces that breathe with the narrative.

A World They Can Step Into

The final exhibit is designed like a real-life educational escape room where each participant is given a “Yaksha Card” and completes elemental quests around Air, Water, and Earth. Unlock stories, earn powers, and build a living world that breathes myth and mirrors our future.

What Will Children Learn?

Creative Technology – Coding, projection mapping, basic automation

Immersive Storytelling – Building interactive characters and branching narratives

Sound & Music Engineering – Designing mood-based soundscapes and recording nature

Environmental Awareness – Understanding nature through creative simulations

Kinetic Art & Mechanics – Creating movement-based installations and sculptures

Teamwork & Leadership – Working in cohorts to ideate, build, present, and perform

Expert Mentors

How future of education and learning is being reinvented by futuristic museums around the world

Post author By Anoushka Mehta
Post date May 12, 2025

We today live in an age which was once imagined only in science fiction, an era of rapid innovation, smart devices, and immersive technology. As tech becomes deeply woven into our daily lives, especially for young children who are exposed to screens as early as age two, it’s essential that learning keeps pace. The future of education isn’t just about using digital tools, it’s about transforming how we think, explore, and engage. Over the past few years, we’ve seen a rapid shift towards people opting for hands-on, experiential learning and while traditional classrooms are still very dominant in our education systems, it is observed that interactive and immersive spaces are proving to be more impactful for young minds. These environments spark curiosity, encourage critical thinking, and make complex STEM concepts come alive.

That’s why Earthlab Club recommends exploring futuristic museums that merge innovation with education. These museums offer transformative experiences through their exhibits in robotics, space science, AI, sustainable design that help kids understand better and aids in nurturing and shaping their own ideas for the future. Come along with us as we take you on a journey through some of the museums with the most innovative and high-end technology that hold the key to the future of education.

future of education with museums

Futuristic museums are not just about showing off tech, rather they’re about changing the way we learn. They invite children (and adults) to touch, feel, question, build, and play their way through big ideas. They not only showcase the history of humankind but also offer a glimpse into what the future of education, learning, technology, and innovation could look like.

These institutions support and encourage experiential learning, real-world problem solving, cross-disciplinary exploration and curiosity-driven thinking. In a world where education must evolve alongside innovation, these museums serve as powerful alternate learning spaces. Learning today can no longer rely solely on traditional classrooms. The rise in demand for experiential and immersive environments reflects a shift toward meaningful, real-world engagement. Museums like these are more than exhibitions, they are spaces that support the future of education, helping to shape curious, capable, and future-ready learners.
