Brighter World Labs
One of the fundamental ways to ensure that young minds blossom into engines of innovation, is to provide hands-on learning experiences right from school. At Covestro, we have been on a constant endeavour to help school students learn science through first-hand experience. The “Brighter World Lab” (BWL) is one such initiative undertaken in collaboration with our partner, Arch Foundation.
BWL is aimed at supporting schools with a well-equipped science laboratory for physics and chemistry. It is augmented with teacher training and science-based extra-curricular activities with students. The idea stems from the premise that an average school in India has limited resources for building out the infrastructure and a science laboratory is a far-fetched thought for many.
We, at Covestro, are however determined to gift a large section of school going students (many of them being from the underserved communities) with the opportunity of learning science at the laboratory. We believe that this is an essential step towards making the world a brighter place to live in.
In the last three years (2017 - 2020), BWL has touched the lives of thousands of students and supported over hundred teachers in upgrading the process of teaching and learning science to an explorative and joyful experience.
