The 3H Formula for Success
Head. Hand. Heart.
Engage and excel!
Stephen Covey, in his book The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, speaks about the importance of knowledge — up-to-date knowledge — in any subject that you are dealing with. Second, the desire to excel and to be number one in whatever you are doing. And the third is the skill.
Where does knowledge come from? From the Head. What about skill — comes from the Hand? And what about the desire? Desire comes from the Heart. Therefore, our way, when we explain it to children, is to say: use your Head, Hand, and Heart. Use the 3H Formula for Success.
The Story of Dynam
It all began in a garage in Bangalore, not with a business plan, but with a belief — that Indian children deserved to learn science through wonder, not rote. When Hari Parameswaran returned from engineering college, his father, K.G. Parameswaran, asked where he’d like to go next — the US, Germany, Sweden? Hari’s answer was different: “I want to stay and build something here.”
That “something” became Dynam. Alongside his brother Gopi, Hari handcrafted India’s first electrical science kit — 60 experiments from a simple bulb to a working motor, designed to teach through doing. The first run received only a 0.1% response rate, but instead of quitting, Hari and Gopi packed their kits on a scooter and visited schools in person — proving quality face to face.
From that small beginning grew a movement. Realizing that kits alone weren’t enough, Hari began personally training teachers and students, bringing science to life through hands-on learning. One visionary principal saw the spark and gave Hari a platform to transform classrooms — building what became one of India’s largest experiential science teaching programs, powered by 40 young engineers.
Word spread. Children raced across playgrounds to his classes. Parents — moved by dinner-table demonstrations — brought his methods into corporates. Soon, Dynam wasn’t just a product. It was a philosophy: learning with the head, heart, and hand.
From a ₹14,000 investment and a garage, to national reach and creative learning for schools, NGOs, and Fortune 500 companies — Hari’s story is one of conviction, creativity, and community. Today, Dynam stands as a legacy of both quality and diversity in educational tools — proudly made in India, inspired by a father’s faith and a son’s vision.
Tributes & Mentions
THE BETTER INDIA
This Kit, I believe, is the first of its kind made in India and I am glad to say that it is extremely well planned, compact and neatly designed to provide hours of enjoyment to scientifically minded children who may carry out experiments on their own or under the guidance of the teacher in the schools Science Clubs

The Times of India
Science comes alive through kits – Science in some schools in Bangalore has become meaningful and interesting to students with the introduction of a do-it-yourself kit intended to assist the young comprehend the principles of science. It has also spurred them to design models on their own using simple materials available at home.

The legacy of Dynam continues...
Dynam, the brain child of Mr. Hari Parameswaran, was born to stoke this fire with the right tools designed for children to explore more and keep their curiosity alive. He says “It takes a trigger to kick start an idea in young minds. It is difficult to guess what kind of trigger will work for each child as each child is born unique.”

Mini Microscope
Have you ever wondered why your parents are very particular about the water you drink? Have you ever wondered why it is so difficult to swat a fly? Have you ever seen the fungus on a stale slice of bread? I’m sure many of you know the general principle in theory. Now would you like to create your own slides and see the tiny microorganisms in dirty water? See the compound eyes of a fly, and understand why it is so vigilant? Actually see the mould growing on a piece of stale bread?
Here, then, is the Dynam Mini Microscope, the world’s smallest microscope. It received the Worlddidac Gold Award 1992 for excellence in educational aids. This award is the Olympics of educational aids.
Mag-Lite Kit
Students can perform 20 experiments and learn all about the fundamentals of electric current flow, permanent magnetism and electrolysis. Starting with a single bulb and a very simple electric circuit, they progress step by step into assembly of switches in the circuit, series and parallel circuits, and conductors and insulators. The section on magnetism explores permanent magnets, lines of force, ‘like’ and ‘unlike’ poles, attraction, repulsion and the magnetic effect of an electric current. The section on electrolysis explores the conductivity of water, ways of finding the positive and negative terminals utilizing the electrolyte and finally electrolyzing potassium iodide solution.
A fully illustrated instruction manual guides the student through these 20 exciting experiments.
Motor Kit
To summarize, the kit includes a machine wound rotor, a wound bipolar rotor and a simple coil rotor all utilized effectively with the permanent magnet or wound stators to navigate the different combinations of circuitry. The experiments range from the Tri-polar motor, the Bi-polar motor, the Simple coil motor, Shunt and Series motors, Speed control of different kinds of motors and Exercises on some of the experiments to stimulate the critical thinking required in the practical solution of problems in the field of circuits and motors.
The Motorkit is accompanied by an exhaustive, illustrated instruction manual to cover the entire range of 31 experiments.
