Experiential Learning Curriculum
School learning, brought to life.
A curriculum where learners grow, build, measure and make before they read the chapter — real tools in their hands, a book that keeps their thinking, and a guide that keeps them moving. Run by your own teachers, inside the periods you already have.

Why experiential learning
Children are curious. Most systems don’t know what to do with that.
A chapter that is read is remembered until the test. A chapter that is grown, built or measured is understood for life — because the learner met the idea before anyone named it. Every board in India now asks for the same thing in its own words: competency-based questions, skill periods, project work, bagless days, internships, a holistic progress card. The hours are already on the timetable. What is missing is a way to fill them that a normal school, with normal teachers and no new lab, can run every week.
That is what Laarish is built for. We are not just teaching children what to think; we are helping them discover why they think.
How a Laarish unit works
Inspire
What the learner does: A story, a short film or a practitioner’s question turns the topic into something worth finding out
What they keepAn inspiration entry and a prediction
Explore
What the learner does: Grows, builds, measures or tests with real tools from the maker’s tray
What they keepSketches, observations, measurements
Record
What the learner does: Writes it up in their own words in the phygital book; the page is scanned into their record
What they keepEvidence, tables, drawings
Reflect
What the learner does: Explains what happened, answers a fresh question, names what is still uncertain
What they keepA corrected record and the next step
Real tools turn a decision into an experiment. The phygital book holds the thinking, even with no device at home. The Laarish app carries the lesson to the teacher, scans every page the learner writes, and shows each child’s progress and next step.
Who it is for
Every board: CBSE, ICSE, State Boards, IB, Cambridge
A child who grows the plant before reading about it never forgets the chapter.
Between Grade 6 and Grade 10 children decide whether school is something done to them or something they do. Experience is what tips it. Syllabus-integrated units give every topic a build, a book and a question — inside the periods your timetable already has.
What runs
Units that sit on the chapters your teachers already teach. Each unit is one experience: a build or a grow with real tools, a book the child writes in, a short game to feel the idea, and an assessment that asks the child to explain what they saw — not to recall what they read. Units are designed for your board and your grade, and run by your own teachers.
What the school leaves with
Students who can explain what they explored; teachers who can run an experience, not just a chapter; a record per child; something parents can see at an open day.
Schools and PU colleges
These two years shape a profession — and most students choose one before they have ever done the work.
One in five rural teenagers cannot name a job they would like to do (ASER 2023). Students pick a stream from marks and hearsay, then discover in college what the profession actually asks of them. A project in Class 11 is the cheapest way to find out early.
What runs
Profession projects. Each project is built around a real profession — the student does a slice of the work an agriculturist, an architect, a robotics or electronics engineer does, with the tools the profession uses, a book of evidence and a guide that keeps the project moving. One project draws on several subjects at once, so the syllabus is learnt through the profession rather than beside it. The student learns how that profession thinks, so they can execute it at the next level — in college and in work.
What the student leaves with
A working build, a completed book, and a clearer answer to “is this the profession for me?”
Undergraduate and diploma
A degree proves you can learn. A product proves you can build.
71% of students now consider access to entrepreneurial support when choosing a college, and more than 80% want entrepreneurship in the curriculum (IC3 Student Quest Report 2025). The colleges that answer this do not add a lecture; they give students something to make.
What runs
The Inventors track. Students develop products themselves — from a problem they found, through a prototype in the maker’s tray, to a version tested with real users in the market. Along the way they learn the skills a builder needs: talking to customers, prototyping, costing, pricing, selling. It runs inside your lab, project and Institution’s Innovation Council periods and connects directly to the Entrepreneurship Programme for colleges that want the full journey.
What the college leaves with
Students with a product they built and tested, a reviewable record per student, and a showcase the department can host.
How we teach it
Your teachers run it, we make them ready
- It starts with a demo day: your teachers run a real unit as learners, with the tools in their hands, and then teach one with us in the room. That demo class is where the method lands.
- One thorough training, not a training every term. Teachers learn the mechanism — the loop, the book, the tools, assessment by evidence — and build their own lessons on it. We do not script every session; we give the frame that makes every session work.
- Everything a unit needs arrives with it: physical tools for the class, a book per learner, and the app for the teacher. Nothing to source, nothing to build.
- Teachers who want to go deeper join the Super Teacher Programme.
What you get
Students keep
A completed book per unit, a made thing, and a record that shows what they understood
Teachers get
The method, the materials and the plans to run an experience in any period
The institution gets
One partner for curriculum, books, tools and teacher readiness — no lab build-out; a record per learner; something parents and visitors can see
A demo day
One day, every part of the programme: a walkthrough of the curriculum, the book and the app, and a real unit run by your own teachers with the tools in their hands. It closes with fit and planning — which grades, which periods, which term.
We bring the tools. Your teachers try a real module.

Frequently asked questions
Is there space in our timetable?
It runs inside hours you already owe — skill periods, bagless days, project and lab periods — typically one double period a week. Zero extra periods.
Our teachers aren’t trained for this.
They will be. Training starts on the demo day and is done thoroughly once; teachers who want to go further join the Super Teacher Programme.
Will you provide what our teachers need to run it?
Yes — every unit arrives complete: the physical tools for the class, a book for each learner, and the app for the teacher. Your teachers facilitate; nothing has to be sourced.
We already have an Atal Tinkering Lab.
Labs need a learning journey to fill them. The units run in your ATL or any room with tables.
How much does it cost?
It depends on scope — grades, sections, units, materials. After a demo day we agree a pilot scope and quote together.
