It will take approximately one hour to reach the museum. We will finish the tour and shopping around 12:30 and then head to The Farm for lunch. We will be back at school by about 3:00. If you are interested in joining us on the outing, please sign up here. The cost for this trip is 1500 rupees, which covers the museum entrance and the guided tour.










Maker Carnival AISC is free to attend, AISC community event, which will be held on Saturday, March 7th from 10:00 - 3:00.  Maker Carnival takes the form of a “Show, Tell, and Do” experience where makers will have the opportunity to showcase their craft and participants can enjoy learning new skills. It is a family-friendly event full of invention and creativity as well as a celebration of the maker movement.  It’s a place where people can show what they are making and share what they are learning.

For those who have participated in the past, Maker Carnival will look different this year as we invite more students and parents to participate in different ways.  From school clubs to middle school students working on STEAM projects to students of all ages trying different activities, the AISC community will be involved in new and exciting ways this year.

Are you an artist, tinkerer, crafter, or maker of any kind? Maker Carnival is all-new this year so if you are a maker who would like to come to share your talent or craft, please sign up to join us at this fun event. We also need volunteers to run pre-planned activities.  Or just come with your family and participate in this fun event!
