SciKnowFest2026 – Grand Science & Math Carnival

Greetings from SciKnowTech Education Foundation – an experiential STEM initiative founded by educationist and scientist Dr. Megha Bhatt.

We are a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Mathematics) initiative dedicated to nurturing scientific temper, creativity, and problem-solving skills among children aged 7-14 years. Through a carefully designed blend of theoretical learning and hands-on experimentation, we have impacted more than 65000+ children, fostering inquiry-driven and research-oriented thinking at an early age.

Our flagship, year-long experiential learning program culminates in a large public science carnival – “SciKnowFest” – where children conceptualize, research, and present innovative STEM projects to a diverse audience comprising parents, educators, industry experts, and eminent members of society. The event also serves as a powerful platform to promote scientific awareness, innovation, and community engagement.

SciKnowFest has been successfully convened for the last 8 years, with increasing participation and outreach each year. The 2025 edition witnessed a footfall of 3,000+ visitors, reviewing 300+ student-led STEM projects. In line with our mission of democratizing access to quality experiential education, the carnival is kept FREE and OPEN TO ALL, ensuring there is no commercial or financial barrier for participation or attendance.

A key social dimension of SciKnowFest is inclusive education. Our venue partner, Gulmohar Greens Club, actively supports education for underprivileged children throughout the year. As part of SciKnowFest, SciKnowTech Foundation empowers and mentors 50+ children from under-resourced backgrounds, enabling them to present their projects alongside other students on the same platform.

Building on this impact, SciKnowFest 2026 also plans to collaborate with additional NGOs, identifying children at the grassroots level, training them through our experiential framework, and providing them equal opportunity to showcase their innovations – thereby extending hands-on STEM education to communities that otherwise lack such exposure.

We propose to convene SciKnowFest 2026 on Sunday, April 12, 2026, from late afternoon to evening, with the following indicative program:

Exhibition of student STEM projects (including projects by children from underprivileged backgrounds)

Age-wise STEM quizzes

Interactive learning stalls and partner-led activities

Live performances by children

Guest of Honour interactions and blessings

Distribution of trophies, certificates, educational kits, food packets, and goodie bags
