Inquire's online workshop series aims at developing inquiry and critical thinking abilities in children. Over the course of three workshops, the Inquire team will engage participants in activities that involve using the same abilities that mathematicians, scientists, historians, and philosophers use to build knowledge.

The three introductory workshop series will focus on three outcomes:

• developing a broad understanding of inquiry and its various aspects,
• learning to use a range of inquiry tools, and
• applying these tools to solve problems and to construct and evaluate knowledge in many domains

The detailed goals of the individual workshop series are given below

By the end of these three workshop series, students will:

• have a better understanding of the nature of academic inquiry and research. For instance, they will be able to understand the distinction between how claims are justified in mathematics, science, and ethics;
• learn to communicate with clarity, precision and rigour and state claims in such a way that they are amenable to inquiry;
• improve their reasoning abilities, enabling them to spot unclear and unjustified arguments in places like newspaper editorials, YouTube videos, and so on.

• Members of the Inquire team will work with small groups of 4-8 students for each workshop
• The sessions are highly interactive, and are based around student participation
• Each session is 60-90 minutes long, allowing students to focus on and engage deeply with the content of the workshop.

This design is to ensure that students:

• receive personalised attention to overcome challenges they face
• learn to develop communication skills along with academic abilities
• engage in active peer learning, and learn to work within groups

• 90-minute sessions
• Groups of 4-8 students
• Dates and times of sessions decided with participants

	Duration	Number of Sessions	Price per student
Series 1	3 weeks	6	Rs. 4000
Series 2	6 weeks	12	Rs. 9000
Series 3	6 weeks	12	Rs. 9000

Focus: Developing a broad understanding of inquiry abilitiesThe goal is to give students an experience of inquiry and critical thinking in a wide range of disciplines, from mathematics to science to ethics.

Students will develop the inquiry abilities of:

• Finding patterns,
• Defining concepts with clarity,
• Classifying, and,
• Mathematical, scientific and ethical theory building.

Focus: Learning to use a range of inquiry tools. The goal is to help students develop a deep understanding of the tools of knowledge construction across disciplines, and how to use them.

Students will develop the inquiry abilities of:

• Observing and describing
• Conjecturing, hypothesising, generalising
• Defining and classifying
• Reasoning and justifying
• Explaining and theory building, and
• Evaluating and debating

Focus: Application of the inquiry tools learnt in previous workshops. The goal is to learn to apply inquiry tools to solve problems and to construct and evaluate knowledge in many domains.

Students will develop the ability to:

• Engage in advanced mathematical, scientific, conceptual, and ethical inquiry
• Bring the inquiry tools together and use them to construct their own knowledge in the form of proto-research projects
• Bring the inquiry tools together and use them to construct their own knowledge in the form of proto-research projects
