About Enrichment Workshops & Short Courses
Why We Do What We Do
At Ekya Nava, I’m all about making learning bigger than textbooks. Kids need space to think, make mistakes, and actually do stuff. My workshops are built for that - not just lessons, but experiences that spark curiosity and bring ideas to life.
Who’s It For?
This isn’t just for kids. I believe parents shape how kids see the world, so lots of my workshops invite families to join in. You’ll get to create side by side, laugh together, and maybe even learn something unexpected about each other. Our spaces - The Makery and The Atelier - aren’t your usual classrooms.
What You’ll Find Here
- STEM enrichment activities like Robotics & AI, where you can build bots and play with code.
- Creative art short courses - painting, clay, printmaking, plus Indian Warli and Japanese Origami.
- Design thinking workshop to tackle real-world problems from start to finish.
- Family bonding workshops mixing fun, science, art, and even fireless cooking.
- Nature games, yoga, and performing arts for mindful balance.
How It Works
Workshops run all year, mostly on weekends at our Panathur campus, Bangalore. Each month, I drop a fresh calendar - from single sessions to multi-week programs and summer camps. If you want practical, purpose-based learning, this is it.

My Story
We started Ekya Nava because, honestly, the old way of schooling just didn’t fit the world our kids are walking into. We wanted a place where kids could actually build, create, mess up, try again—right in the Makery or the design lab, not just on paper. Our campus is all about sparking curiosity, not just cramming facts. We’re not just teaching kids, we’re working with families too—growing together, learning together. That’s the heart of it.
My Work
What We Offer - Full K-12 international school with focus on innovation, creativity, design. Plus, hands-on workshops, summer camps, and parent-child treks.
Learn - Think - Do Approach - No rote stuff. Kids learn concepts, brainstorm, then actually do—real hands-on learning for kids.
Future-Ready Pathways - Students choose paths like design thinking in education, making, IT & society, or innovation & entrepreneurship.
Makery & Creative Spaces - Makery for building and tinkering, Atelier for art—every space made to get kids curious and working with their hands.
Families Grow Too - We run conscious parenting workshops and sessions on emotional well-being for parents, because kids do better when families grow together.
