Different Programs.
One way of thinking about children.
These programs combine scientist-inspired hands-on challenges, direct interaction with real scientists and innovators, and observation of how your child thinks — shared with parents. No other program in Pune offers all three together.
RoboSTEM Thinking Lab
2 weekend sessions per month. Scientist-inspired hands-on challenges across 10 themes, combined with regular parent observations.
Friday STEM Challenge Club
Weekly challenges every Friday to build consistent thinking habits across the year.
10-Day STEM Tinkering Workshop
Ten days. Ten themes. One new world every day during vacations.
1-Day STEM Challenge
A single hands-on challenge where parents observe — not instruct.
RoboSTEM Thinking Lab — Annual Program
One theme each month. Two weekend sessions to go deeper. Real hands-on projects, monthly Scientist inspired STEM challenges, and regular parent discussions on how your child approaches problems.
Real inspiration from real scientist and innovators.
This is not a tuition class. Children are guided — not given fixed answers. Facilitators observe how each child thinks during activities and share those observations with parents monthly — so you can support independent thinking at home without over-helping.
Annual Program Pricing
₹10,000 - ₹12,000 / year
(Depending on your kitty option. Quarterly and term-wise payment options available upon request)
Children do
- Hands-on projects across 10 RoboSTEM themes
- Monthly thinking challenge alongside the project
- Priority access to edu-events with scientists and innovators
- Projects go home — some displayed at the centre
Parents receive
- Monthly note on how your child approached challenges
- Guidance on supporting independent thinking at home
- Priority notification for all edu-events and expert interactions
Why Observation Matters:
The Invisible Gap
"Your child's thinking pattern is invisible simply because you are rarely watching at the right moment."
When you are at work, your child is at school. When you are in the kitchen, your child is doing homework. You are almost never there when your child is actually stuck — trying to figure something out alone.
That moment reveals everything. Most parents never get to see it.
"From where I stand — watching your child work through a real challenge — I see something completely different from what you assume is happening at home."
Cognitive Observation & Debrief
Frequent observation. Frequent debrief. Not because your child needs fixing — but because how you respond at home shapes their thinking habits too.
And you cannot adjust what you cannot see.
Friday STEM Challenge Club
Every Friday evening, one unfamiliar challenge. No textbook. No instructions. No correct answer waiting.
A year-long weekly program where a small batch of 10 children face real thinking challenges every Friday — observed by facilitators and discussed with parents.
Each session is 90 minutes. Every child in the batch gets the same challenge — sometimes solved individually, sometimes in pairs or groups of four, depending on what the challenge demands. The challenges are not connected to school syllabus or the monthly RoboSTEM Lab themes. They are designed to be genuinely unfamiliar every time.
This is not a class. There are no lectures, no notebooks, and no instructions to follow. Genuine thinking based on each child's own exposure, experience, and experimentation.
Friday Club Pricing
₹1,000 / academic year
What children do each Friday:
- Face a new challenge they have never seen before
- Work through it without hints or fixed instructions
- Encounter mystery challenges, logic problems, and hands-on STEM challenges across the year
- Earn milestone rewards for consistent attendance
- Get priority access to scientist meets and FunSmartism edu-events
What parents receive:
Facilitators observe how each child approaches the challenge — not just whether they solved it.
- Parents can book a one-on-one observation discussion to understand what was noticed — how their child responded under pressure, whether they retry independently, how they handle uncertainty.
- First observation debrief is complimentary.
These conversations help parents understand when to step in and when to step back — with more clarity than a report card ever provides.
Offline only · Bibwewadi, Pune. Batch size is limited to 10 children. Next batch starts 15 Jun 2026.
10-Day STEM Tinkering Workshop
Ten days. Ten themes. One new world every day.
A fast-paced hands-on RoboSTEM experience designed for vacations — where children move through robotics, space science, electronics, aeromodelling, design thinking, and more through real projects and challenges.
Every project is a take-home creation. Every day is a different problem. Children are not told what the answer should look like.
Workshop Pricing
Pricing will be declared at the time of the next vacation batch.
Designed for children who:
- Enjoy building and exploring beyond textbooks
- Want exposure to multiple STEM domains quickly
- Need a more active learning environment during holidays
- Are curious about how real systems and machines work
The 10 themes
A new world. Your child approaches the unfamiliar across the themes, We observe how their approaches are -not just what they prepare.
| Theme | What the child encounters |
|---|---|
Robotics | Build something that moves using real testing and debugging. |
Astronomy | Observation journals, scale of space, light and time. Big questions, no telescope needed. |
Space Science | Scale, orbit, gravity — thinking like a scientist. |
Aeromodeling | Build and test model aeroplanes and rockets. Gravity is the examiner. |
Rubik’s & Cognitive Sudoku | A 3D puzzle and number logic that rewards systems thinking over trial and error. |
Hands on STEM Projects | Build, break, rebuild — understanding mechanical systems. |
Electronics & Tech Toys | Electronics and mechanical systems opened up. What's inside? How does it move? |
Design Thinking & Innovation | A real problem. Open brief. Children design, prototype, and explain their idea. |
Sci-Fi Story Writing | Stories grounded in real science. Imagination + logic working together. |
How Stuff Works | Real objects taken apart and examined. Why does this work? What breaks it? |
Robotics
Build something that moves using real testing and debugging.
1-Day STEM Challenge
Experience FunSmartism Before Joining
A single hands-on session where children face an unfamiliar STEM challenge — while parents observe, not instruct.
No preparation needed. No prior STEM experience required. Children are given a real problem, real materials, and no fixed steps to follow.
Trial Day Pricing
₹99 / session
Parents observe:
- How their child responds to something completely new
- Whether they retry independently after difficulty
- How they approach testing ideas without guidance
- How they react when there is no correct answer waiting
Quick Comparison
Helping you decide between first insight and deeper habit building.
Not sure where to start? The 1-Day Challenge is the lowest-commitment entry point. Most families move to the Annual Program after that.
