Sci560 Student Walkthroughs
Sci560 is an exhibition-season that explores the research and science in the city of Bengaluru. Through historical objects, scientific instruments, and archival material, this exhibition traces the evolution of Bengaluru and its importance in facilitating academic research, industrial production, and military strategies in the country.
A learning journey through Sci560 introduces students to the rich tapestry of Bengaluru—the history of its research institutions, the cutting-edge research produced here, and the artistic representations fostered around it.
Mediators, our trained exhibition experts, lead tailored walkthroughs for students aged 15 to 28 years. The walkthroughs focus on hands-on learning experiences through critical discussions and lively activities. We conduct these walkthroughs in English or Kannada, and can conduct them in other Indian languages upon request.

DIGITAL LEARNING RESOURCES
The freely accessible Science Gallery Bengaluru Courseware brings together resources from our exhibition-seasons to facilitate non-evaluative, open-ended, and interdisciplinary learning.
We have five modules on Carbon and climate change. The first introduces students to climate change and carbon, and the others approach this topic through the lens of biophysics, art, technology, and lived experience. Each module consists of expert-led lecture videos, documentary films, articles to read, as well as exercises and assignments that promote critical engagement with the respective topics.
It is accompanied by an Instructor Guide that you can access here.
