About Jigyasu
Jigyasu (Dasco Education Private Limited, Bhubaneswar, Odisha) is an experiential science learning company for schools. Students learn science by doing real, hands-on experiments instead of only reading about them. It runs the Foundation Program, an after-school program on the school campus, and schools can also set up a Science Studio or a Lab-in-a-Class run by their own teachers. 800+ experiments, 100+ schools and 90,000+ students since 2020.
Students learn science from the real thing: real experiments and real phenomena, live in the room. Not by listening to lectures and taking notes, and not from videos and diagrams alone. Every experiment is designed around Engage · Observe · Explore. Students Engage with divergent phenomena through “magic trick” type activities, Observe textbook concepts live with demonstration models, and Explore by discussing and assimilating what they see, confirming or challenging explanations through hands-on experiments. In the classroom, we teach through Active Learning methodology: students think, discuss, write and explain rather than listen.
CBSE, ICSE, IB and state boards across India, including the Odisha Board. The Foundation Program is for Grades 6–10; Science Studio and Lab-in-a-Class cover Grades 6–12, and the Science Studio Pro package adds foundational activities for Grades 1–2. Every experiment is mapped to the chapters students already study.
The Foundation Program is an after-school program Jigyasu runs on your campus for Grades 6–10, with Jigyasu instructors for Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Robotics & AI, and no upfront cost to your school. Science Studio is a studio your school buys once; your own teachers run it in your timetable, with experiments mapped to your syllabus, teacher manuals, student handouts and training from Jigyasu.
In the Science Studio and Lab-in-a-Class, your own teachers do, trained by Jigyasu. One training at installation is included, and further training is available on demand. In the Foundation Program, every session is run by Jigyasu instructors, so nothing is added to your teachers' workload.
Book a demo. Our team visits your school, shows you a session, understands your grades and goals, and recommends the right option: the Foundation Program, Science Studio or Lab-in-a-Class.
No. Jigyasu designs and runs experiential science learning: the experiments, the teaching method, the manuals, the training and, in the Foundation Program, the instructors too. The experiments are the medium, not the product.
Foundation Program
Foundation Program page →The Foundation Program is Jigyasu's after-school experiential science program. Jigyasu instructors run 90-minute, hands-on sessions on the school's own campus through the academic year, for students in Grades 6 to 10, in Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Robotics & AI.
Grades 6–10, in Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Robotics & AI, mapped to the chapters students already study across CBSE, ICSE, IB & state boards.
Each session is 90 minutes on one concept, with three or four experiments that build on each other. Students see the first experiment before anything is explained, write a short reflection, compare a second experiment, discuss for about 20 minutes, try a more advanced experiment, and take home a question to research. Every session runs from a timed instructor manual.
Dedicated Jigyasu instructors, one for each subject, on your campus, working from a timed manual.
Nothing beyond providing the room. Jigyasu runs every session, so nothing is added to your teachers' workload.
There's no upfront cost to the school. Jigyasu sets up the studio, parents enrol their children, and your school shares in the revenue. Talk to us for the details.
We do not promise exam results. Students who understand the ideas properly are better placed in any exam.
It is not exam coaching and not a replacement for your science class. It runs after school, builds on what the class covers, and gives students who want more time to go deeper with real experiments.
Science Studio
Science Studio page →Talk to us for a 30-minute walkthrough and we'll recommend one based on your grade focus, space and goals. Generally: Core if you're starting out and want strong Physics; Plus if you want deeper senior-grade coverage; Pro if you want science from primary to senior, including Chemistry.
CBSE, ICSE, IB and state boards across India, including the Odisha Board. Every experiment is mapped to the chapters your students already study. Talk to us about mapping for your specific board and lesson plans.
Space requirements depend on the package. Core fits in a standard classroom-sized room; Plus and Pro benefit from a dedicated lab room. We assess this during the demo visit.
Your own science teachers, in your timetable. Jigyasu trains them and gives them a manual for every activity. If you'd rather have Jigyasu instructors run sessions after school, look at the Foundation Program.
