As with many great journeys, Butterfly Fields began its journey by asking some simple questions that challenged the status quo:

Shouldn’t education be more about understanding and less about marks?
Shouldn’t schools be training children in improving intelligence rather than memory?
Shouldn’t learning be about solving real-life problems rather than answering some questions in a paper?

The ButterflyFields Innovative DIY kits have been designed indigenously by their in house R&D team comprising of highly qualified engineers and designers from top institutions. These products have been tried and tested as part of school programs by over 5000 children.
