- 01
Aryabhata: mathematics, astronomy and algorithms
Learn about an early Indian mathematical astronomer by doing mathematics: follow a sine-table idea, solve a remainder problem and distinguish a documented contribution from a sweeping claim.
Learning outcome: Explain what a sine table does, solve a simple remainder equation and describe a historical contribution without overstating it.

A. P. J. Abdul Kalam: engineering, learning and service
Go beyond motivational quotations: follow Kalam’s work through a real launch programme, the discipline of learning from failure and his engagement with young people.
Learning outcome: Explain the difference between a rocket and an orbit, compare two SLV-3 outcomes and design a small evidence-based improvement cycle.
