I found this entire learning experience to be refreshingly new. Our group activities made it easier for us to learn complex topics and the quizzes made learning even more fun. I would recommend anyone who wishes to pursue a career in research to gain experience through such programs here at Naxxatra. These projects help bring passionate and motivated students of similar interest under the same wing while giving us absolute independence in terms of our learning choices.
