Experimento India is a collaborative project launched by Siemens Stiftung, Siemens Limited (India), and Pratham Education Foundation.
Experimento India's digital Open Education Resources (OER), integrated into Project Jigyaasa of Siemens Limited will be accessible to all school students.
The OER are integrated into Siemens Limited's Project Jigyaasa, which is active in over 170 government schools.
Experimento from Siemens Stiftung offers a diverse range of multimedia materials: from video activities for project-based learning, lesson plans for educators, student worksheets, quizzes and question banks. Its integration with Project Jigyaasa (curiosity-based learning initiative), will further enhance the learning outcomes in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) subjects. Pratham Foundation is the project implementation partner.
Sunil Mathur, Chief Executive Officer, Siemens Limited, said, “India’s young population requires extensive hands-on learning and skilling to harness its full potential. Siemens Limited's strategy on education is based on a lifecycle approach and aligned to the Skill India mission of the Government.”
Dr. Nina Smidt, CEO and Spokesperson of the Board, Siemens Stiftung, said, “Having worked in Africa, Europe, and Latin America for over 15 years, we have experienced that students learn best from resources that are rooted in their contexts. The digital learning materials are adapted from our internationally acclaimed education program Experimento to the needs and requirements of Indian students. The resources are co-created with Indian academic experts, teachers and families and offered to students in their mother tongues. Thereby, breaking language barriers to learning science and technology.”
