To help kickstart project ideas, 15 schools from around Vasco da gama Goa were given the DVD Learner’s Library created by Dr. Arvind Gupta and his team. The DVD is a treasure trove for a child to know how things work, and has hundreds of ways of making Science Fun to Learn. The schools are requested to show the DVD to teachers and students. The schools are welcome to make copies of the DVD LEARNER’S LIBRARY and allow teachers, students, parents to make copies of the work. The work is in the public domain. The objective is to have more children use it, adapt it, and improve it. The DVD contents are also available on www.arvindguptatoys.com.
