"I wanted to make math fun and simple. I made card games for geometry and addition, a dice game for arithmetic, and a bingo (housie) game for geometry that could be played as a class.''

The games have been formally recognised by the state, and at least three are widely used in schools, he notes with satisfaction. Since Eureka reaches more than a million students in over 9,000 schools in Tamil Nadu, Rohan's work is helping thousands of children.
