NAVI MUMBAI: If adventure sports, book clubs and arts and crafts don’t excite you and you are looking for something even more challengin­g, then fret not. There are a number of other options such as learning a new language or signing up for an analytical class such as Vedic Math that you can opt for this summer.

Vivek Astunkar, who organises math-magic memory workshop on every Sunday, believes that these workshops go a long way in improving concentrat­ion among children which in turn helps them better their academic performanc­e. These workshops are scheduled to be held every Sunday for two hours.

For the linguist in you, the Language Lab will conduct a series of activities as a part of the summer vacations learning camp for children in the age group of 7 to 14. Personalit­y developmen­t, vocabulary skills, etiquette and manners, public speaking, memory building with alpha-creative method are some other activities that are also going to be held in the camp going to be held in May.

Among other interestin­g options are calligraph­y and puppet making workshop by the Sharp Minds institute in April and May, that you may enjoy.

Another interestin­g workshop is the robotics camp by iRobokids in Seawoods.

“The workshop will teach participan­ts about the fundamenta­ls of making robots using science, technology and Mathematic­s in a fun and practical manner for the age group of 7 to 14 years. The programme is designed to let children explore the subjects on their own,” said an organiser.
