The motivation behind the Science on Wheels program is to promote science education through a development of logic, systematic observation and experimentation. It seeks to make learning science an enjoyable experience, help students learn analytical thinking, encourage them to question the world around them. In 1999-2000, the Science on Wheels program was organized 96 times in 60 schools. It is extended now to the upper-primary.
Additionally, they have Perpetual Science Workshop, which is a set of posters and activities designed to continually engage students in sciencerelated activities through active learning. And, Sunday Science School, which is a new
consecutive 7-sunday science course/forum where children will be able to participate in science related experiments and activities that cannot be pursued in a Science-on-Wheels like mobile-laboratory set-up -- activities which involve large, fragile models etc.
