The Young Naturalist Course is a blended course for students to explore the natural world. It is based on the premise of 'Last Child in the Woods' which demonstrated the fact that how modernization and changing lifestyles have taken our children away from woods and made them homebound, as that's where all electrical outlets are. The purpose of the course is to expose children to different natural ecosystems and reconnect them with woods within their own home city. However due to the Covid crisis we have curated this course with home based assignments and the self assisted field visits will be conducted in suitable locations. If you think you want your child to be an outdoor person and wish for a healthy growing years, inoculating your child with 'Nature Bug' will make all the change.
