Raising a Mathematician Foundation
Motto of ‘RAM Foundation’
• Our present day educational system gives less room for developing 'critical thinking' and 'research mentality' at a young age due to which many who are even though capable, do not pursue research.
• The intention is to move out of conventional 'teaching' methods and enable a 'learning' process where the children can explore and look at mathematics with a different perspective and at a different level.
• Through this program it is intended to induce a research mentality in children.
