The Exhibition-in-a-Box is a learning format experimented by Science Gallery Bengaluru (SGB) that aims to bring exhibitions directly to schools, colleges, and other community spaces. It is a portable, self-contained kit that contains interactive exhibits, experiments, and educational resources designed to engage and educate participants. It allows individuals who may not have the opportunity to visit a physical museum or gallery to experience interactive exhibits. This initiative also encourages collaborative learning and group participation, as the exhibits are designed to be explored and discussed together.

As part of the PSYCHE exhibition-season, Ananthu worked with the Programmes, Learning and Production teams at SGB to curate a box that explores themes around mental health, neuroscience, research ethics, and more through multimedia resources like games and Augmented Reality experiences.

The box also serves as a valuable resource for educators, enabling them to enhance the curriculum and engage students in a hands-on learning experience. It promotes inquiry-based learning and critical thinking skills by encouraging participants to ask questions, conduct experiments, and draw their own conclusions.
