Science Lab On Wheels
Project Overview

A mobile van carrying Science & Mathematics practical equipment, a projector, laptop and 6 to 10 VR headsets, visits a school every day 10AM to 5PM.

Each Mandal has an average of 10 to 12 high schools.One van and two instructors (science graduates with B.Tech or B.Ed.) will be assigned to each Mandal.

The instructors help teachers conduct practical experiments on the topics students have learned in the past two weeks and also show related content using VR headsets for a 360-degree experience.

Our Vision

To create a future-ready generation by bringing high-quality, interactive science education directly to rural high schools in Telangana. Through a mobile lab equipped with modern scientific tools and immersive VR technology, the Science Lab on Wheels project seeks to ignite students’ interest in STEM, close learning gaps, and enable practical, experience-based education.

Our Mission

To bridge the learning gap in science education by delivering hands-on, accessible STEM experiences directly to rural students through mobile laboratories and immersive VR technology.
Our mission is to spark curiosity, foster critical thinking, and empower students with practical skills and real-world scientific understanding, preparing them to succeed in an increasingly technology-driven world.

Our Aim

Our aim is to make science education engaging, accessible, and practical for every student, regardless of their location.
We strive to inspire a lifelong passion for learning, cultivate a scientific temper, and provide rural students with opportunities to explore, experiment, and excel in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

Key Objectives

Provide rural school students in grades 6 to 10 with practical, hands-on science and math experiences.
Support teachers in conducting experiments and reinforcing curriculum topics by giving right tools for them.
Reduce the urban-rural education gap in science learning outcomes.
Inspire and empower the next generation of scientists and innovators in rural Telangana.

Execution of the project

Telangana Development Forum has partnered with FotonVR, a Virtual Reality content provider for education services. FotonVR provides a complete virtual classroom setup with customized content tailored to the state syllabus.
This collaboration ensures an immersive and curriculum-aligned learning experience for students in government schools.
