The Makers Collaborative Details
In 1975, at the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, under the guidance of Professors Sahib Ram Mandan of Department of Mathematics, and U.S. Bharadwaj of the Department of Architecture, Genesys Models was started as a venture to make educational models that would make learning science, mathematics, and its application to engineering and technology more insightful and motivating.Mathematics, being the language of the sciences as well as related to Art and Architecture is one of the best ways to integrate both Science and the Arts. It is, thus, a General Systems Approach to all knowledge, and Modelling is what we naturally do to simplify and represent the structure and function of all things and processes in the universe. Thus, Genesys stands for General Systems and Models is the way we try to understand the working of both Natural and Man-made Structures and Machines.The Makers Collaborative, thus, expands what Genesys Designs started out with in 1975 and proposes a human-centred approach to learning by bridging the great divide between Maths and Arts, Physical Sciences and Social Sciences that schools have got us conditioned into believing. After all, come to think of it, real life problems can only be solved by interdisciplinary creative thinking and doing stuff yourself! At The Makers Collaborative, we design educational materials, set-up makerspaces and workshops on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering Arts and Maths) using 3D models and educational aids. We develop modules, curriculum and training programmes for educational institutions, schools (formal and non-formal), colleges, cultural organisations, making use of hands-on, project-based learning through models and prototypes.We also work WITH communities and neighbourhoods on bottom-up, cultural and educational projects.
