Principal Investigator: Ms. Manzil e Maqsood

Chotay Sciencedan is a venture of a team at ITE, SEECS that is working in collaboration with ILM IDEAS to digitize 5th Grade science syllabus. This project will be a start of new era in which the students will use tablets as the primary educational instrument replacing books. Teachers in such a setting will be facilitators and their burden will be eased thus allowing them to focus on quality of education. This project is part of a grand theme of digitizing the national curriculum of Pakistan using the latest Technological, Pedagogical/psychological and Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework.The primary intent of the project is to design and develop an application (henceforth called an “app”) based on Google's Android Operating System, the objective of which would be to make learning accessible and meaningful to a typical grade 5th pupil aged between 10 to 12 years through a comprehensive digitized primary school science curriculum.The app will be designed in such a way that it meets the diverse learning requirements of every child, enabling them to learn via a range of interactive games that will engage and entertain while they are simultaneously learning new ideas and concepts.
