Projections and Playtronica. Day 3 of The Yaksha, Summer Programme 2025

the yaksha, summer program, day1, day 2, day 3

Welcome to the EarthLab Club’s Young Creators Summer Programme 2025 – The Yaksha.
This unique summer programme offers children the chance to explore their passions through expert-guided sessions—from tech labs to interactive design. Day 3 was a fun, creative, and inspiring journey into visual storytelling through animations and projections.

Day 3 –Design Lab Log | Young Creators Summer Programme 2025

Day 3 of the Young Creators Summer Programme 2025 was a vibrant celebration of creativity, collaboration, and curiosity.  Guided by our expert mentors, they explored emotions through art, experimented with DIY projectors, and learned about light, reflection, and storytelling through visuals. 

  • The day 3 of summer programme began with students cutting and repurposing their sun-dried screen prints from Day 2 into creative stickers and mini artworks. As the session moved forward the children started getting into discussion about design with our  design expert Ansh Kumar, and later they gathered around the table for a fun collaborative drawing activity. The activity was that each child folded a sheet into 4 parts—feet, limbs, torso, and head—drawing one part before passing it on. This happened across 3 rounds, sparking surprise and delight as the final characters were revealed, and students were encouraged to name those characters and tell a story about it. Here are the creations made by our students during the summer programme, shared for your kind perusal.
  • A second round of drawing focused on emotions—students illustrated happiness, sadness, anger, and curiosity on each fold, helping them express and recognize feelings through visual storytelling. These activities nurtured creative confidence and offered a safe space for self-expression.
  • As the day 3 session moved forward a hands-on science-meets-art activity, children made DIY projectors using transparent glasses, cellophane, and tape. They drew colorful images on their slides and, using flashlights in a dark room, projected their artwork onto the walls. This engaging activity introduced students to basic concepts of light, reflection, and visual design.
  • After a nourishing and refreshing lunch around 1:30 PM, students were introduced to the fascinating world of Playtronica by our tech expert Sai K. Mulpuru. In this activity students learned how to make music using vegetables and everyday objects through sensors and conductive touch. The day 3 session covered the basics of physical computing, sound design, and how grounding and circuits work—all in a playful and hands-on format. Some students also showcased their piano skills during this interactive music session.
  • In the final segment, students explored digital creativity by drawing on iPads and seeing their artworks projected live onto the wall. They took turns having their faces animated or sketched and experimented with layering visuals using technology.

Twisted Words, Moving Images, and Printing Stickers. Day 2 of The Yaksha, Summer Programme 2025

the yaksha, summer program, day1, day 2, day 3

Welcome to the EarthLab Club’s Young Creators Summer Programme 2025 – The Yaksha.
This unique summer programme offers children the chance to explore their passions through expert-guided sessions—from tech labs to interactive design. Day 2 was all about being fun, creative, and inspiring a love for linguistics and sustainable designing.

Day 2 –  Storytelling and Design Log | Young Creators Summer Programme 2025

The day started with a bang as students were introduced to the amazing and jumbled world of words in form of riddles and puzzles, guided by the expert Prashant Nawani, students explored different types of word games, their formation, history, and types. 

  • As the workshop began, students were introduced to the intriguing world of riddles and wordplay. They learned about the two main categories of riddles, which are enigmas, they are metaphorical and require careful thinking, and conundrums, which are often based on puns or wordplay. The session opened with a series of interactive flashcard-based challenges, where students worked in teams to solve classic and modern riddles, ranging from logical problems like “What comes once in a minute, twice in a moment, but never in a thousand years?” to humorous conundrums like “Why was the math book sad?” 
  • Under the guidance of our mentor, they explored the structure of riddles, understanding how clues are layered, how ambiguity is built, and how tone and language affect interpretation. Students were also introduced to linguistic devices such as double meanings, metaphors, misdirection, and homonyms, which are commonly used in crafting riddles. Later, they moved into a creative writing segment where each student selected a word such as “mirror,” “shadow,” or “time” and experimented with forming ambiguous cues and clever misdirections to challenge their peers. They crafted original riddles using what they had learned, sharing them aloud and seeing if others could solve them.
  • This engaging activity not only helped students appreciate the nuances of language and logic, but also enhanced their critical thinking, listening, and communication skills. The atmosphere was electric with curiosity and laughter as teams solved, created, and performed riddles, truly embodying the spirit of playful learning.
  • At 1 PM, students took a lunch break, and post-lunch, they resumed watching Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, continuing from where they had left off on Day 1. After the film, students reflected on memorable characters and scenes through sketching and visual storytelling. They wrote brief recaps and created visual interpretations of the characters they liked the most. The creative outputs like the images and written pieces from students captured the film’s emotional depth and connection to nature beautifully.
  • In the second half of day 2 of the summer programme, students entered the world of design and printing with our expert mentor Ansh Kumar. They learned the basics of screen printing, including how paper is made, the materials used for screens and inks, and how sustainable printing can be achieved.
  • Each student got hands-on experience printing their designs on paper using a variety of colors and textures, promoting creativity and teamwork. They discovered how everyday items like T-shirts are printed and explored the connection between art and sustainability.
  • Students concluded day 2 sessions by drying their prints in the sun and creatively repurposing them into stickers and mini artworks. This final activity encouraged fine motor skills, creativity, and reuse, rounding off the day with joy and hands-on experimentation.

Discovering Earth, Gods, and Forest Spirits. Day 1 of The Yaksha, Summer Programme 2025

the yaksha, summer program, day1, day 2, day 3

Welcome to the EarthLab Club’s Young Creators Summer Programme 2025 – The Yaksha.
This unique summer programme offers children the chance to explore their passions through expert-guided sessions—from tech labs to interactive design. Day 1 was just the beginning of a fun, creative, and inspiring journey into storytelling, science, and imagination.

Day 1 –  Storytelling Log | Young Creators Summer Programme 2025

Our first workshop of the Young Creators Summer Programme 2025 kicked off with great excitement! As students arrived, they explored the EarthLab space, browsing through displays and resources that set the tone for a day of discovery.

  • The session began with a fundamental question: How old is the Earth? and students were introduced to Earth’s formation and ancient history.
  • They used the interactive tool Ancient Earth – dinosaurpictures.org to visualize how Earth looked 240 million years ago, and witnessed Dehradun’s transformation through time when the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates collided 55 million years ago, tracing it from prehistoric landmasses to its present form.
  • Students then selected their hometowns and other global locations to explore similar transformations, they also learned about the concepts like continental drift, plate tectonics, and geological time were discussed.
  • Students were also introduced to biomimicry and the idea of a regenerative future through simple, relatable examples from nature and design.
  • Later students spent 25 minutes independently researching the history of Earth, taking notes and comparing it with today’s geography, which was followed by a real-world comparison using globes and collaborative peer discussion.
  • At 1 PM, students took a break for lunch, and post-lunch, they watched Studio Ghibli’s Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, which was followed by a group discussion on the film’s environmental themes, mythology, and its relevance to Earth’s current ecological challenges.
  • The session moved into mythological geography, focusing on the Himalayas and the students were introduced to the spirit god Yaksha and the river goddess Saraswati. They searched about the forest gods from the regions of The Himalayas, Northeastern India, Thailand, Korea etc and started taking inspiration for their sketching from these folklore of forest spirits.

It was a fun and enriching day filled with experimentation, learning, creativity, and collaboration. Students engaged in discussions, worked as teams, and brought together science, mythology, and imagination in the true spirit of the Young Creators Programme.

What Makes These Mentors Different?

 The masterminds behind the curation of The Yaksha are not barely mentors or instructors, rather co-creators, who are deeply committed and happy to guide children through the unknown, open up new challenges for thinking and creating differently, providing a safe environment that inspires risk-taking. They walk beside the children, not ahead of them—guiding, questioning, listening, and pushing boundaries. 

What sets them apart is not just their expertise, but the joy they find in nurturing young minds as they tinker, build, and boldly imagine. They offer more than skills—they offer a safe space to explore, take risks, and build with intention. 

In this shared creative lab, children learn that making something new means being brave enough to ask “what if?”—and having someone there who believes in their answer.

The Yaksha isn’t a normal school camp—it’s a living, breathing world that children help design and bring to life. With real-world mentors by their side, young creators will build, play, imagine, and uncover the power of story, nature, and creative tech.

The Yaksha: An Immersive Summer Experience (Young Creators Programme 2025)

THE YAKSHA: earthlab club young creators summer programme

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

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

future of education being reinvented by futuristic museums

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.

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.

EARTHLAB CLUB SUMMER PROGRAMME

In 2024, EarthLab Club launched its very first interactive summer camp, The Young Creators Summer Programme, a future-ready, project-based experience crafted especially for curious minds aged 7–15. The central theme of the programme was Light and Sound, and all activities were curated to help children explore the fascinating art and science behind these elements through immersive, hands-on workshops. The camp began with photography workshops under the Media Club, where students explored the fundamentals of light. They experimented with cyanotype printing, built their own pinhole cameras, understood the camera obscura technique, and learned the basics of  mobile photography, all grounded in the science of light and image-making.

Simultaneously, in the Music Club, students dived into the world of sound by creating their own songs through workshops in vocals, songwriting, sound production, and DJing. These workshops honed their musical skills by helping them understand how sound travels, is manipulated, and produced. In the Media Club, students learned the basics of creating their own podcasts, to deepen their understanding of mass communication and audio storytelling. The Literature Club focused on nurturing the storytelling and creative writing streak in young minds, while under the Design Club, students learned the mask-making process, enabling visual storytelling in children. Under the Science Club, students explored the principles of light, sound, and optics through interactive experiments and activities. The summer programme also included a field trip to the FRI Museum and camping at Rajaji National Park under the Nature Club, reinforcing learning in the natural world through exploration and observation. Every session was guided by industry experts and creative mentors, ensuring that each child was actively engaged in making, experimenting, and creating, not just observing. Creation was at the heart of the programme, giving young minds a space to explore their ideas with confidence. It’s a summer camp where thinking differently is celebrated.

Our next summer programme promises to be even more engaging, creative, and hands-on.  Reach out to us directly to learn more about what’s coming.
