Khoj - Dabba 
"Lab in a box"

Bringing Hands on learning to Rural Schools

Khoj - Dabba

The Lab-in-a-Box equips a school with lesson plans, activities and materials to cover Science, Math, Language and Social science standards for grades 1-8. Easy-to-follow guides reduce preparation time for teachers, and the materials give rural school students parallel experiences to private school laboratories.

Features :

  • Aligned with Dep Ed standards
  • Involve a hands-on laboratory experiment
  • Include a pre- and post-assessment with classroom management techniques
  • Use low-cost materials that may be reusable (like the mini microscopes), and replaceable (like straws, salt, etc.) materials. This allows schools to reuse and replenish according to their needs


What do we mean by relevant?
  1. Age and grade level appropriate content aligned with Dep Ed curriculum standards
  2. It reflects local concerns and embedded in the context of the India

Wider Scope

(a) providing a task-based curriculum that is aligned with Department of Education standards
(b) developing learning products that cater to satisfying curious minds
(c) conducting hands on training for teachers to cultivate a conducive atmosphere for learningThe Lab in a box is a teaching and learning program equipped with Dep Ed standards - aligned lesson plans, teaching & learning materials, and a solid teacher support program
Our vision is to make learning fun and relevant.
What do we mean by fun?
  1. Science, Math, Language experiments and activities make students pay attention and ask questions.
  2. The biggest classroom management issue should be: “How do we keep from standing on their chairs in excitement?”
