Preparing children for the future

Staff Reporter

Bangalore: FasTracKids Explorer was launched in the city on Saturday.

Kevin Krause, Managing Director, FasTracKids International, emphasised the need to prepare children to face the future. He said that FasTracKids has an international presence in about 40 countries.

The techniques used by FasTracKids have proved to be effective in retaining children’s attention for a longer period of time. Children learn through hands-on experimentation, live reports, presentations, guided discussions and role-playing, all creating a highly interactive setting.

Stella Samuel, Area Developer of FasTracKids and former principal of Bishop Cotton Girls’ School, spoke on the concept behind FasTracKids.
