Bengaluru’s 84-YO Inventor Creates 25 Patented Science Kits for Children

Amidst the quiet corners of Bengaluru, the octogenarian Hari Parameswaran transcends the ordinary, creating a world where science is a playground rather than a textbook. Battling the constrictions of formal education, he crafted an array of 25 patented science kits, including a palm-sized microscope that elicits awe from neurodivergent students and young minds alike. "Our birthright is to try," he believes, as he transforms his garage into sanctuaries of learning, infusing mundane mornings with the creativity sparked at 3:30 am. Hari's journey interweaves innovation with heartfelt purpose, merging imagination with accessibility, from urban classrooms to rural corners of India. His work reverberates with the belief that true understanding comes when children grasp concepts before their books dictate; it's about sparking curiosity, not merely pursuing answers.
