About Pop-Sci-Cles
Pop-Sci-Cles (Popular Science and common tales), founded by Rohini Chintha, aims at engaging the age old tradition of storytelling, both as an effective means of Science communication and as a tool for introducing Indian folklore and Indian epics/mythology to audience of all age groups.
​
Stories have no cultural or age barriers, are easy to remember and help establish a connection between the narrator and the listener. Pop-Sci-cles is a magical means to simplify and endear concepts of Science to children and familiarize them with their cultural roots.
