At Sri Vani Education Centre, keeping education effortless and trouble-free is the motto. Research has shown that 70% of human beings learn by doing which results in information retention for future recall and application. Evidently, most of us are "kinesthetic learners."

A day trip to Science Park rekindles the inquiring mind, encourages and enhances the child’s love for Science. Live models allow an inquiring mind to experiment for oneself with ‘Persistence of Vision’, ‘Resonance’, ‘Conservation of Energy’, ‘The Periodic Table’, ‘Levers and Pulleys’, ‘Generation of Electricity’ to name a few that give practical knowledge that makes understanding crystal clear. Hands-on education as a scholastic method brings out the latent skills naturally and fearlessly in the right atmosphere. Experience tells us students that visit the science park, undoubtedly exhibit a better and realistic approach to the complex concepts. Thanks to this practical knowledge made available in the science park to complement knowledge gained from reading material.
