Past Workshops
The Beginning at LUMS
Our first-ever Holistic Science Teaching workshop took place at LUMS University in 2022. It was a four-day residential program, followed by an additional one-day session after a month. We received an overwhelming response from teachers and participants. This inaugural workshop primarily engaged middle school science teachers (Grades 6–8), setting the foundation for our holistic and interdisciplinary approach to science education.

1- Expanding Access Through Online Learning
In 2023, we transitioned to a fully online format, allowing us to bring together a diverse cohort of teachers,from elite private schools to grassroots NGOs. This online model enabled us to expand our cohort size significantly and make participation more flexible through weekend sessions. The shift helped us refine our pedagogy and community-building strategies for virtual learning environments.
