04 • STEM education • Hands-on learning
Little hands, big sparks
SparkBoard lets students generate electricity from the sun, wind, water and heat, store it in batteries, and use it to light LEDs, spin fans and drive toy cars, turning textbook science into something they build with their own hands.
The challenge
Too many students learn science only from the blackboard
Our answer: SparkBoard brings a complete, curriculum-mapped energy lab into every classroom.
Why choose it
Key benefits
From rote learning to doing
Students build real circuits and power systems instead of only reading about them.
Mapped to the syllabus
Experiments follow Science and EVS chapters from Std. 5 to 10 in the Maharashtra State Board and NCERT curriculum.
Clean energy literacy
Students learn how renewable energy is generated, stored and used, and why it matters for the planet.
Useful all year
A calendar of experiments, projects and science-fair builds keeps the kit in use through the school year.
How it works
Generate, store, use
Every experiment follows the real energy chain, from source to storage to a working device.

Testimonials
What our clients say
“SparkBoard has completely changed how I teach electricity and circuits. My students are more engaged, ask deeper questions, and even stay back after class to try new circuit ideas.”
Seema Patil
Science Teacher
“This board is a game changer for rural schools. Our students now understand solar energy and sustainability not just in theory, but by doing.”
Mahesh Sathe
Science Teacher
“Before using SparkBoard, I had only seen solar panels in pictures. Now I have built my own solar fan circuit!”
Priyanka Londhe
Grade 7 student
“SparkBoard taught me how to store solar energy in a battery and power a motor car. I now want to become an engineer and work on clean energy for villages like mine.”
Rohan Joshi
Grade 8 student
Frequently asked questions
Questions about SparkBoard
Which classes is SparkBoard designed for?
SparkBoard is designed for students from Std. 5 to 10, with experiments mapped to Science and EVS chapters in the Maharashtra State Board and NCERT curriculum.
What can students build with SparkBoard?
Simple and complex circuits, solar-powered fans, wind and hydro power demonstrations, battery and capacitor storage, toy cars that run on stored energy, and simple AND/OR logic circuits.
Does SparkBoard need special lab facilities?
No. It is a safe, reusable, classroom-friendly 45 cm × 60 cm board that works in a normal classroom, science lab, STEM club or Atal Tinkering Lab.
How many students benefit from one SparkBoard?
A typical school reaches 500 to 800 students per SparkBoard each year, with two teachers trained to run it.
Can companies fund SparkBoard through CSR?
Yes. Deploying SparkBoard in government schools qualifies under Schedule VII (promoting education). We provide baseline and endline surveys, quarterly updates and an annual impact report.
