Learning through Toys

On the old campus of Barefoot College, workers including Ramswaroop Ji are hard at work constructing the various educational toys used throughout Barefoot College to teach the students about various scientific aspects which can be difficult to grasp by just reading about them in a textbook. Some of the toys included lessons about vibrations, magnetic fields, and momentum. Also many of the toys are made with recycled parts or various other materials found around Barefoot. The toy makers are a great example of how the disabled are not hidden away, pushed aside like they are throughout most of society. Rather at Barefoot they are part of the community and have worth, knowledge and skills to contribute.
