The courses are designed to attract young learners who are keen on learning about science, technology, electronics and automation. This includes students of the age 6 years and above. Any child under the age of 6 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

We aim to be as inclusive as possible with an 'open to all children' policy. If your child requires extra support, please send us an email on info@lydnow.com or call us on +91 97631 63833 to discuss your child's specific needs on the course. Do let us know if any special arrangements need to be made. Although we cannot provide additional staff for any children at the moment, we are happy to allow a child's caregiver on the course as long as this doesn't affect the participation of other children in the group.

Our courses are taught by a team of distinguished subject matter experts, teachers and engineers.

Our courses are held at multiple locations in Pune through regular short-term courses (day-long, two / three day classes or week-long classes) or long term courses (over several weekends or a few months). In 2020, our courses will be available in Pune Camp, Kothrud, Baner, Koregaon Park, and Viman Nagar. To learn more about batch timings, follow the individual course schedules on the Register page.

Each course has 7 to 14 available places. Places will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis until each batch is filled to capacity. Generally we have courses running every Saturday and Sunday, so even a single student can come and join in. We can take up to a maximum of 14 students per batch, although we try to split them into a maximum of 3 students per group.

The course fee must be paid in FULL before the start of the course. Please note that the option to pay in installments is available only in an unavoidable emergency situation which will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis by our Admissions team.

Yes, two scholarships are available on each course, for the benefit of those who would otherwise be unable to attend. Applications for these places are competitively assessed, applicants are interviewed on the basis of merit and financial need.
