We look forward to your institution visiting CALORIE!

CALORIE Student Walkthroughs

CALORIE is our latest exhibition-season that explores humanity’s intimate yet fraught relationship with food. It investigates how what we grow, buy, cook, eat, and throw away has been shaped by colonial histories, industrial systems, state policies, and scientific ideas.

Ration games, ragi keyboards, sugar-blown sculptures, edible earth, and so much more!

Through playful and thought-provoking exhibits, a learning journey through CALORIE encourages students to unpack how food became data, how nutrition became a tool of control, and how these histories continue to shape present-day debates around equality, health, access, and sustainability.

Experimentors, our trained exhibition experts, lead tailored walkthroughs for students aged 15 to 28 years. The walkthroughs focus on hands-on learning experiences through critical discussions and lively activities. We conduct these walkthroughs in English or Kannada, and can conduct them in other Indian languages upon request.

What to Expect

In order to book a student group visit to Science Gallery Bengaluru, please fill in this form and tell us your preferred date and time. We will block this slot for you, and reach out via email to confirm. 

General exhibition walkthroughs are planned for 1.5 hours, in which time students have the opportunity to interact with 5–7 exhibits, discuss its key themes, and reimagine their relationship to Bengaluru. Depending on the group size, we also conduct hands-on activities as part of the exhibition walkthrough. 

We can accommodate student groups on weekdays (Wednesdays to Fridays), with a maximum group size of 60 per slot. In case you would like to bring larger groups, we can organise multiple walkthroughs for you.
