Yogendra, Alok, and Atul created educational science project videos in Hindi to make science learning accessible for Hindi-speaking students. They started by making an electromagnet and automatic street light. Their videos became very popular with over 1 million views. Since 2012, they have created over 15 science project videos covering topics like rain alarms, potato batteries, and more. However, they face challenges from lack of funding, time constraints imposed by parents and school, and lack of support for their efforts. They hope to continue creating more advanced projects, participate in competitions, and promote hands-on science learning through such initiatives.

1. Our Journey
Alok Verma & Atul Pal

2. Sony Handycam
Yogendra bought a handy cam for general purpose but very soon it’s
started being used only for educational videos.

3. There was science exhibition in Atul’s school.
When Yogendra bought camera, science exhibition was going on in Atul’s
school.

4. Science Project Kit bought for the exhibition
• He bought a ready made science project of solar system and show it
in the exhibition without the knowledge of components used in the
kit.
• Kit included motor, LED, solar panel, battery, battery cap.

5. First science projects book
we bought
In order to make science
projects we needed some
guidance. So, we decided
to buy a book of science
projects and create videos
for all science projects
given in the book.

6. Electromagnetic Crane
• For the first project we
selected electromagnetic
crane (Project 32).
• Small wire and bolt was
available at home and we got
battery and other required
material from science kit.
• We have also created the
frame of crane with available
waste material at home.

7. Our First Project
Make an Electromagnet at
Home
• After completing the
electromagnetic crane. We
decided to go step by step rather
than showing complete project at
once.
• So we decided to make a video to
show how to make an
electromagnet.
• We recorded our first video of
science project “Make an
Electromagnet at home”.
• Learn By Watch published this
video on YouTube on 14 May 2012
• You can see this project at this link:
http://youtu.be/EmONMIqwH54

8. Next…
• Yogendra also published this video
on his blog on navbharat times on
15 May 2012.
• We got very good comments on
navbharat times.
• These comments motivated us to
create more videos.
• You can read this blog at:

9. Availability of science
project videos on YouTube
in Hindi
• We search for science projects
on YouTube.
• We found that most of the
projects were in English, and
difficult to understand.
• So, we decided to create
several science projects in
Hindi.
• Our efforts are now visible on
YouTube.
• Top 10 result of “science
project Hindi” search query is
shown in image.
• Among 10 videos, 6 videos are
created by us ( ) and 2 of
them are not in Hindi.

10. • Next we try to make many projects from the book
but components for most of the projects were
not available in the market.
• In search of science projects we went to market
and we found many ready made science projects
that we can buy but it was no-where written that
how to make these projects.
• We decided to make videos to show how to make
a project himself.
• After doing all these survey we decided to make
“automatic street light” science project.

11. Goals
• We were annoyed with the facts that Indians also making such videos only
in English not in Hindi. We were unable to identify for whom they were
creating the videos.
• Our goals behind making this project was:-
– Hindi medium students will be able to make the project himself. They
don’t stop just because no Hindi videos are available on YouTube.
– Students gain confidence that if we can make it, they can make it too.
– Even if students buy the project but watch the video of product they
will know about the components used in the circuit.
• We were enjoying.

12. Our Second Project
Make an Automatic Street
Light at Home
• We published our second
project “Make an Automatic
Street Light at Home”.
• This video was recorded and
edited by Yogendra and Atul
and Alok learned the process
of recording and editing the
video.
• You can watch this video on
this link:

13. Video Views
• This video got popular in India very soon.
• Since then it’s been watched 1,85, 856 times.

14. Comments we received within 7 days of publishing the video.

15. Use engagement
Relative audience retention shows your video's ability to retain viewers
during playback by comparing it to all YouTube videos of similar length.

16. Next two projects
Rain Alarm & Electricity
from potatoes
• Electronic rain alarm was our next
video of science project.
• After this we created a video to
teach how to generate electricity
from potatoes.
• From May 2012 – Sep 2012 we
have successfully created 4
projects. electro magnet,
automatic street light, rain alarm &
electricity from potatoes.
• We also tried touch plate, clap
switch, but we remain
unsuccessful because we didn’t
get proper guidance and
components.

Experience of Yogendra Pal
In this blog Mr. Yogendra Pal has written his experience about making of
these science projects.

18. Our Experience during project creation
• It was annoying when a project fail many times
but there was no comparison to the pleasure
of successful attempt.
• In the beginning one project take around 5
days to create.
• We were happy that we are doing the thing
that we love to do.

19. Projects Till Date
• Till date we have created these video tutorials
– Electricity Detector
– Fire Alarm
– Laser Security Alarm
– Occupancy Light Indicator
– Portable Mobile Charger
– Water Level Indicator
– Basic Remote Tester
– Clap Switch

20. Some Statistics
• Views: 13,31,671
• Likes: 5,519
• Favourites: 1208
• Comments: 1624

21. Top 10 countries viewing our videos.

22. Problems
• Parents
– No permission
– We were being interrupted for reading project
books and magazines.
– While we watch videos to understand a project on
youtube we receive comments like, utilize your
brain and time in study rather than watching
videos.

23. Problems (contd..)
• Money (Sponsors)
– Components of some projects are costly and
vunerable.
– We want to create Aurdino, robotics, security
related projects and they need handsome amount
which is very difficult to get from home.

24. Problems (Contd…)
• Time
– Parents do not allow to work while schools are
open.
– We can work only on vacations with the negative
pressure from parents.

25. What we get?
• I have created a project for a science exhibition and
because of this I gain some fame among the students –
Alok
• One teacher appreciated our videos on youtube and
starting recommended our videos to the students.
• Student in our class call us with the nickname
“computer”, “Einstein”.
• We receive comments like “we have created more
projects than our science teacher”.
• We receive calls, whatsapp messages, facebook
request, emails from all over the world with
appreciatiation, requests, suggestions.

26. Few Memorable E-mails from Atul’s
Inbox

28. What should parents do?
• They should support such kind of activities.
• They should allow to read non-curricular
books too.
