FAQs

School projects & exhibition models — frequently asked questions

Do you make ready-made school science exhibition models?
Yes. We design, build and test both working and non-working (still) models for every class and deliver them exhibition-ready, along with a chart and a simple explanation for the judges.
Which classes or grades do you cover?
All of them, from Class 1 to Class 12 — working models, still models, arts & crafts and best-out-of-waste — matched to your syllabus and the difficulty level expected for your class.
What is the difference between a working model and a non-working (still) model?
A working model actually moves, lights up or pumps water to demonstrate a process. A still or non-working model is a labelled 3D display that explains a concept without moving parts. We build both.
What do I get with each project?
Usually the model itself, a matching chart or poster, a neat label/description card, and a short, easy-to-memorise explanation you can use for your viva or the judges’ questions.
Can you build a custom project on my topic?
Yes. Share your topic, class and deadline on WhatsApp and we will design a model to your school’s exact requirement and budget.
How much time do you need to make a project?
It depends on the model, but most projects are ready within a few days. For exhibitions, message us as early as possible so we can plan and deliver on time.
Do you deliver, or is it only in Hyderabad?
We are based in Hyderabad and can help locally. For other cities, message us on WhatsApp and we will tell you what is possible for your project and timeline.
How do I get a price and place an order?
Send your topic, class and exhibition date on WhatsApp. We will suggest the best model, share a quote, and get started once you confirm.

Get your school project ready — stress-free

Pick any idea above, or tell us your own topic. We’ll build the model, prepare the chart and report, and coach your child to explain it — all in time for the exhibition.
