STEM education pedagogy at primary schools level for marginalized children has to be through simple hand made toys, suggests research

Kishore’s 2009 [1] paper, "Stepping into Science in Small Schools: Together with Tools, Techniques and Toys", advocates for cost-effective, toy-based pedagogy in resource-constrained schools. Published at the epiSTEME 3 conference, the research emphasizes hands-on, activity-oriented STEM learning. By utilizing easily accessible household materials and affordable micro-science kits, Dr. Kishore demonstrates how educators can cultivate scientific temper, improve conceptual understanding, and boost student motivation without needing expensive, traditional laboratory setups.
