Science through Games and Toys
Background
Toys are representations of the cultural, social, economic, and traditional aspects of a
region/country. Toys have evolved over 5000 years since the Indus Civilization and with
the advancement in science and technology, the toys have also become technically
rened. Toys not only act as amusement, and entertainment but also serve the
purpose of teaching, learning, recreation, etc. Traditional and educational toys help
in the understanding of the basic concepts of math and science which assist in the
child's overall improvement including physical, mental, logical, and emotional
development. Toys also reveal the history, heritage, and lifestyle of the artisans, and
craftsmen who have been involved in making these playful models. Toys try to
connect the child to nature and make them understand its behavior in a simple way.
In the present technologically advanced world of gadgets like mobiles, tablets, etc,
there is a dire need to develop the toys industry in order to provide them with a healthy
childhood and safeguard their future. IISF provides a platform to showcase traditional,
innovative, creative and modern toys by traditional toy makers along with new start-
ups in a spirit of 'Vocal for Local'. This event also invites accomplished speakers and
organise creative shows for students to initiate logical thinking and inculcate learning
of science through Games and Toys.
Participation
Scientists, communicators, artists, journalists, researchers, toymakers, students,
children and citizens - all are welcome.
