Experimentor and Mediator Programme
ABOUT THE PROGRAMME
At Science Gallery Bengaluru, our Experimentors and Mediators play a crucial role in bringing exhibitions to life. They foster curiosity, conversation, and discovery, helping visitors explore the intriguing intersections of science, art, technology, and society. By diving into exhibition themes, crafting compelling narratives, facilitating walkthroughs, and developing learning resources, they make complex ideas accessible. Their contributions to public programs create a creative, inquiry-based environment that offers valuable opportunities for learning, experimentation, collaboration, and skill development. Each individual brings a unique perspective that enhances visitor engagement.
The journey extends beyond the Gallery. The questions explored, connections made, and experiences gathered often become part of what comes next. Meet our alumni, discover the paths they have taken, and find out how their time at Science Gallery Bengaluru continues to shape their work, interests, and journeys.

MEET OUR ALUMNI
Rajalakshmi Rajesh Narayanan
CONTAGION Mediator
Architect, Film Set Designer at DNEG (Double Negative)
“I was very interested that there was another platform people could go to learn from, one that wasn't necessarily a university or school. It allowed me to study once more in a way that I hadn't before.“
S Partheeban
SUBMERGE Mediator
Application Engineer
“Before joining, I was focused only on college. After the mediation experience, I gained a broader perspective on the world and realised that learning isn't limited to engineering alone. It’s valuable to incorporate insights from various disciplines into my own, which helps me strengthen my profile. The confidence I built from engaging with new people, understanding their backgrounds and anticipating their responses has been transformative. Before being a Mediator, I was an average college student. Now, I’m exploring new ideas, places, and building friendships across diverse fields.”
S Thejaswini
CALORIE Experimentor
Academic Coordinator at Nature Conservation Foundation
“I think I learned a slice of life, especially picking up new skills, talking to people, and putting things together. I learned patience by listening on the floor. Listening teaches a lot, because I've learned so much from the visitors, beyond the research papers and handbook material we have read or studied.”
Kavana Kiran
Sci560 Mediator
Student, pursuing a Master's in Mathematics
“At the gallery, we explained things as accurately as we could in simple, everyday colloquial language. And even when we were learning about the exhibits, we were expected to do real research and not just kind of gloss over what the core concept was.“
