As an active space of learning and tinkering will provide children a choice of being individual or group self- directed learners or taking up challenges with an adult directed learning. The focus will be on creating projects both physical and virtual and getting into problem solving.
The space will be available to outreach schools of Auroville, but not limited to them. Schools can enroll to the common space while providing an adult (teacher) who is interested in contributing to the concept. This will add to the adults engaged in these activities and in time create a community of adults who may have their own skills to contribute and activities to continue to transform their schools and spaces. Home schoolers can engage with the space by providing a parent from their group who is interested in STEM. The idea will be to hold multi-grade classrooms to allow active peer learning among children. There will be some effort to mix children from different backgrounds from in Auroville and from the villages around Auroville while being engaged in serious learning. There will be no observers, only participants.

Stem land will work actively on enrolling and providing access to children of AV and outreach schools reach the center.
Broad expenses required are for creation of the space, for equipment, tools, learning materials, games, etc described earlier. We would need to engage a school bus to transport children from various schools to STEMLand. Given the four people involved will be on part time basis, support for additional 2 full time staff members. The success of the project will be if parents, educators, teachers, children all partner to ensure active use of the facilities.
