Embark UnMath launches Nepal’s first in-school Math Museum programme
KATHMANDU: Embark UnMath has launched Nepal’s first in-school Math Museum programme, transforming schools into tactile learning environments that bring mathematics out of textbooks and into interactive spaces.
The initiative aims to spark curiosity and foster student-led learning by enabling pupils to touch, build and engage directly with mathematical concepts.
Divesh Bathija, co-founder of Embark UnMath, said, “We created Math Museum to show that maths is not just about numbers on a page; it’s about patterns, stories and possibilities. When students can touch, build and explore, they begin to see maths everywhere. We believe that this programme will transform students’ relationships with learning itself.”
The immersive programme equips classrooms with hands-on exhibits and activities, converting ordinary school corridors and halls into vibrant maths spaces. Schools involved in the first rollout will host installations ranging from geometric construction stations to pattern-exploration tables, all designed to make abstract concepts tangible.
Alongside student engagement, the programme seeks to empower educators with innovative teaching tools. Participating schools work closely with Embark UnMath to select passionate student leaders, provide dedicated spaces for exhibits and organise community-facing launch events that celebrate collaborative learning.
Embark UnMath will continue to support schools after the initial rollout, with the vision of embedding the Math Museum as a permanent feature of the curriculum. The organisation hopes this sustained partnership will nurture capable minds and instil a lifelong love of maths in every student.
