Axiom Education, an education innovation company —through its brand "IKEN" today announces the launch of ‘iken books’, a revolutionary concept for curriculum based education. ‘iken books’ are a unique blend of education and entertainment solutions to bring in a fun-learning experience for children at school. The occasion was graced by Directors of Axiom Education Pvt. Ltd. and Principals and senior science teachers of leading schools at Axiom’s BrainGym facility, Opp. Gyandham School, in Vapi.
‘iken books’ are interactive comic text books based on the NCERT curriculum that bring scientific concepts alive through colorful and entertaining comics. The books have been designed with fun-loving comic characters indulging in real life adventures and promise to give young minds a thoroughly different experience while imparting education – that of fun and excitement.
Research has shown that with the help of ‘iken books’, students can now cover an entire science chapter in less than 30 minutes while retaining more than 200% as compared to normal textbooks. This revolutionary approach will allow teachers to build upon an already existing base understanding of every child in the classroom. A student can simply read a chapter from ‘iken books’ before it is covered in the classroom and then co-relate better with the proceedings of the classroom.
The stories contain an endearing character popularly known as J.C. who is on a learning curve and is one of the most inquisitive characters in the world of comics. The stories explain the quirks and adventures of J.C.’s life and showcases how the boy becomes smarter and knowledgeable with every experience in his life. The books comprise an edutaining matrix that comprises various direct and indirect teaching methods providing a wide array of ‘explore– it – yourself’ activities.
Speaking on the initiative, Mr. Saurabh Saxena, Director – Business Development, Axiom Education, said, “We always aimed to do something different and exciting in the filed of education. Our new invention- ‘iken books’ will not only create a learning environment that is synonymous with entertainment but will also generate an eagerness to learn more in a child. I am confident that these books will be happily accepted by children and teachers alike and will provide them a new refreshing experience.”
