Our Lower Elementary students recently completed their Ratha Yatra Cart Unit—an interdisciplinary project combining Bhakti studies, science, math, social studies, and language arts.
Students explored the cultural heritage of Jagannatha Puri, studied simple machines and structural design, measured wheel diameter and radius using real-world geometry, and worked together to build functional carts for Festival of Joy.
From wheel alignment to canopy construction, every detail required teamwork, problem-solving, and initiative.
This is what meaningful hands-on learning looks like—students connecting knowledge across subjects while building something with purpose.
