MiniGuru is a dedicated video sharing online platform for
children and facilitates constructive offline engagements for Children.
Every child acts, here as a guru to the peer children, hence we named the community 'MiniGuru'.
Children are naturally curious and creative. They are often found engrossed in doing/making/breaking something. We strongly believe that all such active engagements have their own thought process, behind. We wish to validate and recognize all such act of children as part of their learning journey.
We help parents and schools to create the dedicated space for children’s creative exploration at home in schools and in the community. These spaces serve as a gathering point for tools, ever-growing repository of materials and different work stations. Young children (8-14 yrs) spend their time working on their ideas FREELY according to their interest, at their pace.
Children love it and it is a great source of motivation to attend school every day. T-LAB runs as part of school rhythm, and has become an USP of school. This is also a rich resource room for teachers, and may add value in their academic activities. (Offering for Schools)
This version of T-LAB evolves during the lockdown. Under our virtual guidance, children have created personalized T-LAB in their houses. After R&D, we offer this as a personalized creativity corner for children at their home. (Offering for individuals)
We offer and run T-LAB centers in communities and villages for non school hours. In fact, we started the T-LAB exploration as an after school center. Later we pivoted to T-LAB in school as well. (Offering for NGOs/CSR funds/Village Panchayat/ gated building of colonies)
We offer short tinkering workshops for children and teachers. The duration of such workshops ranges for 1 to 15 days, depending upon the organizer schedule. (Offering for Schools & NGOs)
During the evaluation of the T-LAB idea, we gathered a number of stories and anecdotes, based on this we have constructed a learning model. We offer talk and orientation to educators and share the journey of the idea Natural learning Model. (Offering for Educators)

MiniGuru is a dedicated platform for children to share their work in the form of video, which eventually turns out to be an exclusive community of creative and curious children across.
Children are naturally curious and creative. Children enjoy making/doing things. These engagements also contribute to their learning journey.
As the community of children grows, The MiniGuru also accumulated an ever growing collection of children’s project videos. We observed that the peer projects are the greatest source of trigger for children to work on their dreams and ideas.
The MiniGuru assists and guides the children to work on their ideas with ease and constructive manner. It has tools to plan and document the process. Gamification using a virtual currency ‘Goine’ and constructive peer review process keep them motivated to work.
It is not certain that they would get good quality kit materials for their projects at an affordable price in the local market. This e-commerce is simply to solve these issues and avail kit materials at a reasonable price in just a few clicks.
