EarthLab’s Exhibit Production Lab With Pratiksha Chauhan. Young Creators Programme : The Yaksha

 

 Young Creators Programme – Yaksha 2025

At EarthLab Club this June, waste turned into wonder and creativity took shape — quite literally. The Set Building Workshop & Exhibit Production Lab is one of Yaksha 2025’s most hands-on experiences, a raw, real, and joyful journey where children built an immersive forest exhibit from scratch.

Over the course of the set building workshop, children rolled up their sleeves to work with paper, paint, masking tape, wires, cardboard, plastic bottles, old electronics, even bicycle pedals — transforming everyday materials into a forest-world fit for myth. Led by multidisciplinary designer and curator Pratiksha Chauhan, this  exhibit production lab brought together art, sustainability, and spatial storytelling in the most tangible way. This is where hands get dirty, ideas take form, and set design becomes a celebration of resourcefulness, imagination, and teamwork.

What Participants Will Explore:
Creative Set-Building

  • Build forest-inspired mountains, leaves, rivers, and props using cardboard, cloth, and POP in the Exhibit Production lab.
  • Paint, tear, glue, mask, and layer recycled materials into immersive environmental elements
  • Construct exhibit features like sculptural trees, bulldozers, and keepers’ elements in the Set Building workshop.

Waste-to-Art Installations

  • Discover how to reuse objects like old cameras and mobiles, cans, paper scraps, broken suitcases and other plastics.
  • Learn how improvisation and constraint can spark creativity in the set building workshop.
  • Discuss environmental impact and the power of upcycled art in the  exhibit production lab.

Designing for Exhibition

  • Understand how spatial layout, light, and form work in creating immersive exhibits
  • Collaborate in building story-driven installation zones across Yaksha’s narrative
  • Contribute to the final transformation of EarthLab Club into the Yaksha world

Why It Matters:
In a world of fast consumption, building with our hands and our hearts  is revolutionary. The Exhibit Production Lab teaches children how to think through materials, work in teams, and embrace the unpredictability of making. It’s a space where mess is part of the process, where failure is welcome, and where anything, even an old suitcase can become a story. By the end of the workshop, every participant will have shaped a physical part of the Yaksha Exhibit be it leaves or the mountains and they will learn that creativity doesn’t need perfection, only their presence.

Your Mentor:
Pratiksha Chauhan – Set & Exhibit Mentor

EarthLab’s Sonic Storytelling Workshop with Yash Jha and Prashant Nawani. Young Creators Programme : The Yaksha

 

Welcome to EarthLab Club’s Young Creators Summer Programme 2025

 

At EarthLab Club this June, sound becomes myth, and story takes root in rhythm. The Sonic Storytelling Lab is one of Yaksha 2025’s most immersive creative spaces — a collaborative journey into the emotional and imaginative power of music, sound design, voice, and narrative.

Over four days of the sonic storytelling lab, participants will craft the sonic identity of the Yaksha universe — composing original tracks, writing poetic chants, shaping atmospheric soundscapes, and building story arcs drawn from nature, memory, and imagination.

This is where stories breathe, sing, and resonate — led by acclaimed mentors Prashant Nawani and Yash Nath Jha, who together guide children in building the emotional backbone of EarthLab’s Yaksha world.

What Participants Will Explore:

Sonic World-Building

  • Compose original soundtracks, chants, and ambient textures
  • Use digital tools to build mood, tension, and character themes
  • Explore how rhythm and tone create emotion and narrative

Story & Lyric Writing

  • Develop myth-inspired poems, chants, and lyrical narratives
  • Use journaling and guided storytelling prompts to shape characters and arcs
  • Work with metaphor, memory, and voice to tell meaningful stories

Collaborative Sound Design

  • Layer field recordings, beats, and group sounds into immersive experiences
  • Design sonic transitions for moments of conflict, transformation, and hope
  • Contribute to the final Yaksha soundscape — an audio world built with peers and mentors

Why It Matters:

In a fast, screen-saturated world, listening is radical.

The Sonic Storytelling Lab teaches children to hear with intention — to shape their emotions, ideas, and worldviews through rhythm and voice. It fosters deep collaboration and nurtures the future skills of empathy, creativity, and expressive communication.

By the end of the sonic storytelling lab, each participant will become a part of something larger — a mythos told in sound, formed in community, and presented as part of the Yaksha Exhibit.

Your Mentors:

Yash Nath Jha – Music & Sound Mentor

Yash is a composer, educator, and multi-instrumentalist who creates immersive soundscapes blending nature, ambient textures, and experimental rhythms. With a background in working with young learners and exploring the emotional possibilities of music, Yash brings sensitivity, curiosity, and imagination into every sonic session — from composing elemental sound environments to co-creating original songs with children.

Prashant Nawani – Voice, Lyrics & Story Mentor

Prashant is a poet, performer, and theatre-maker whose work bridges storytelling, lyrical expression, and participatory education. He brings years of experience guiding young people through music, movement, and metaphor — helping them discover their voices and shape meaningful stories. From chants and collaborative poems to sound-based narrative puzzles, Prashant makes storytelling joyful, expressive, and deeply personal.

Together, Yash and Prashant will co-create with the students the living, breathing sonic experience of Yaksha.

Earthlab Club Summer Programme 2024

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 Earthlab Club summer 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. Every session was guided by industry experts and creative mentors, ensuring that each child was actively engaged in making, experimenting, and creating, rather than just passively observing. Earthlab Club summer programme’s aim was to bring out the creator in every child making creation, the heart and soul of the programme. They built, recorded, designed, wrote, and explored under the guidance of expert mentors across music, media, literature, science, and design. Whether it was crafting paper speakers, recording their own podcasts, creating cyanotype prints, or building pinhole cameras,  every activity was rooted in experimentation and imagination. The Earthlab Club summer programme gave young minds a space to explore their ideas with confidence, where thinking differently is encouraged and celebrated. The children didn’t just learn, they made!

The Essential 2025 Parent’s Guide to Summer Programmes in Dehradun

 

With summer breaks approaching, students are seen to be extremely excited about all the fun, rest, and family time they’ll enjoy. But let’s not forget — it’s also the time when they are not burdened by school and academics and can learn more freely and explore their creativity and curiosity. Hence, the summer programmes! Dehradun has been known to be the home of some of the best schools in India, which host some of the most engaging, creative, advanced, and hands-on summer programmes for young minds. But how does a parent really decide which summer programme is best suited for their child? It can seem like a daunting task. Well, Earthlab Club has answers to all your questions.

CHECKLIST FOR SUMMER PROGRAMMES

Earthlab Club has researched several summer programmes held in the Dehradun region and used input from parents to understand their needs and curated a checklist of all the things one should be looking for in a well-designed summer programme. Whether you’re looking for a programme that sharpens academic skills, sparks creativity, boosts fitness, or builds confidence, Dehradun offers an exciting variety of well-designed summer programmes.

  • Engagement: Whenever looking for summer programmes, parents should check if the children are actively participating or just passively watching. Summer programmes are the best place for children to be active learners instead of just being passive viewers. You shouldn’t be wasting your child’s time and creativity by sending them to a programme akin to their classroom.
  • Learning & Skill-Building: When choosing summer programmes, parents should check if their child will actually learn something new — whether it’s a life skill, an academic concept, or a fun hands-on ability. A good programme doesn’t just fill time, it sparks growth. Programmes should offer structured opportunities for children to stretch their minds and try things they wouldn’t normally do during school time.
  • Creativity: One of the biggest gifts summer programmes can offer is creative freedom. Look for programmes where kids aren’t just ticking boxes — they’re analysing, creating, imagining, and expressing themselves. Creativity isn’t just about art either — it’s about thinking differently, solving problems, and making something out of nothing.
  • Physical Activity: Kids need to move! Whether it’s swimming, running, skating, or dancing, make sure the programme includes activities that help them stay physically active and healthy. It’s especially important in summer when kids can fall into a sedentary routine, hence looking for programmes with sports that are more encompassing. But if your child is looking to excel in a particular sport like swimming, football, skating, or martial arts then enrolling them in a dedicated sports programme with professional coaching is the preferred way to help them progress. Programmes are a perfect chance to burn energy in fun, constructive ways.
  • Safety & Supervision: No matter how exciting the activities are, safety always comes first. Parents should always ask: Are there trained instructors? What are the supervision ratios? Are emergency protocols in place? A great programme balances freedom with responsibility, making sure every child is safe while having a great time.
  • Age Appropriateness: Not every programme suits every child. What works for a 6-year-old won’t necessarily engage a teenager. Look for summer programmes that group kids by age or skill level, and offer tailored activities that match where your child is developmentally. The right fit makes all the difference in how much your child enjoys and learns.
  • Balance: Summer programmes shouldn’t feel like school, but it also shouldn’t be just a free-for-all. The best programmes have a healthy balance of structured learning, time for play, social interaction, and even rest. Kids thrive in environments where there’s enough routine to feel safe and enough freedom to feel excited.
  • Duration & Flexibility: Finally, think about how summer programmes fit into your family’s summer routine. Is the duration manageable for your child’s energy levels? Do you need a full-day programme or just a few hours? Some kids need more downtime, while others love long, immersive programmes. A flexible, well-paced programme can make summer feel like a treat rather than a task.

SUMMER PROGRAMMES PARENTS SHOULD CONSIDER

Based on Earthlab Club’s research, here are some standout programmes parents should definitely consider:

  • The Doon School Summer Programme: A prestigious 14-day boarding experience for students aged 14–18, blending academic exposure with leadership, global citizenship, and personal development. In the upcoming months of 2025 this summer programme will come back to life to continue providing children with academic and personal development over the course of 5–6 days.
  • Woodstock School Summer Programme: Woodstock School’s summer programme offers a transformative, interdisciplinary experience that is open to students aged 10–18, and promotes global exposure and personal growth. This summer programme offers courses in different disciplines like Model UN, Entrepreneurship, and Artificial Intelligence, to enhance, encourage and explore individual creative confidence.
  • Earthlab Club Summer Programme: A futuristic, hands-on programme focusing on creativity, innovation, and design thinking. Children aged 10–16 work on interdisciplinary projects combining science, art, and tech. This programme emphasizes collaboration, critical thinking, and creative confidence.
  • Mondrian House LEGO Robotics Programme: Hosted in collaboration with Makers Duniya, this first-of-its-kind programme introduces kids (8–14 years) to the world of robotics through LEGO engineering. It combines tech, innovation, teamwork, and outdoor games.
  • Pestle Weed Summer Programme:    Located in the beautiful Oak Hill Estate, this programme blends traditional day-programmed activities like horse riding, yoga, and table tennis with creative outlets like art and craft.

Each of these summer programmes brings something unique to the table, whether it’s academic rigor, creative exploration, outdoor adventure, or skill development. Choosing the right one depends on your child’s interests, learning style, and goals, but with Dehradun’s wide selection, there’s truly something for everyone.

Crafting Visual Stories with Zine-Making: A hands-on design workshop at the TonsBridge Residential School

Art is everywhere, and each one of us is an artist. So, imagine what the world would be like if more children were allowed to bring out their inner artist—what if they could tell a story through visuals? At TonsBridge Residential School, students tapped into their creativity through a hands-on design workshop on Making Zines, organized under the Young Creators Program by Earthlab Club. This  engaging design workshop, led by design expert Pratiksha Chauhan encouraged students to explore visual storytelling and crafting cohesive stories, sparking their curiosity and innovation. Its hard to imagine a world without visual storytelling, isn’t it? Through these hands-on activities, students in the Design Club brought their creative ideas to life. 

Students engaged in a hands-on design workshop.

Learning storytelling through Zine-Making in design workshop

The Zine Making Workshop was conducted by Pratiksha Chauhan, a NIFT graduate with over 11 years of experience working with international brands. This hands-on design workshop introduced students to the fascinating art of zine-making. Now, before you ask—a zine, short for magazine, is an accessible platform for storytelling, encouraging students to create their unique visual narratives. This learning experience helped students understand the importance of visual communication and provided insights into the technicalities of creating cohesive visual stories. This workshop served as a precursor to graphic design by introducing key concepts such as layout structure, design aesthetics, and visual hierarchy to the young minds.

Students of TonsBridge Residential School explored elements like page composition, design layout, and storytelling techniques. Supported by NID’s emphasis on design as a means to develop innovation skills—skills that the NEP 2020 prioritizes for 21st-century learners—this hands-on design session encouraged students to think outside the box and write compelling narratives while experimenting with page layouts, cover designs, headers, headlines, and creative visuals. Imagine our surprise when students thought outside the box and explored themes like bridal traditions and other unique ideas as well!

Connecting Design to Real-World Skills 

This hands-on design workshop aligned with Earthlab’s philosophy that design fosters innovation, in this case in storytelling, and emphasized the importance of design thinking for the students, as they learned the basics of crafting visual storytelling complement. These activities encouraged problem-solving, critical thinking, attention to detail and self-expression in the students,  nurturing their creativity, narrative building, and visual communication.  Workshops like these by Earthlab Club empower students to learn by doing. These zine-making activities provided TonsBridge students with a platform to create, innovate, and tell their stories visually.
