The workshop will demonstrate how to make innovative toys through recycled consumerist waste, thereby exploring the teaching of science and physics to be easy and accessible. The ability to create and improvise experimental toys with almost zero-cost equipment holds great promise for every child.

The Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCAA) is an autonomous institution set up by the University Grants Commission (UGC) of India to promote the nucleation and growth of active groups in astronomy and astrophysics at Indian universities. IUCAA aims to be a centre of excellence within the university sector for teaching, research and development in astronomy and astrophysics.
