Science is part and parcel of life. The inquisitiveness for science develops at a very early age as the child starts growing and is exposed to various things around his/her surroundings. The questions how and why start arising in the mind of the child.
Encouraging scientific and technological creativity among students and inculcating a sense of pride in their talent. Creating awareness that science and mathematics are all around us and we can gain knowledge as well as solve many problems by relating the learning process to the physical and social environment is very important among children.
Also appreciating the role of science in meeting the challenges of life such as climate change, opening new avenues in the area of agriculture, fertiliser, food processing, biotechnology, green energy, disaster management, information and communication technology, astronomy, transport, games and sports etc plays a vital role.
In this regard, HMR international School had organised an Inter-School Science exhibition by providing a forum for children to pursue their natural curiosity, innovation and inventiveness to quench their thirst for creativity.
The chief guest was Smt. Indumati Rao, wife of Bharat rathna Sri. C N R Rao. She whole heartedly appreciated the school’s effort in organising such an event. She praised Rohit Dey, Kendriya Vidyalaya, whose models were so popular and was a star among the students. She said he is the centre of attraction for today.
Dr Dinesh, former scientist at IISc Bangalore and presently a part of Nitte institute of Engineering and management said everyone had an inherent scientist among them and they have nurture the habit of asking questions and developing inquisitiveness among themselves. He came forward and shared his contact details with the students, pledged that he will help them in all ways he can with respect to science.
Students from Class 6 to Class 10 had participated in this event and all the exhibits were working models.
The exhibit/project may included working model to explain a concept, principle or a process, an indigenous design of a machine/device, an innovative/inexpensive design or technique, application of basic principles of Science/Technology, scheme/design of a device or machine to reduce production cost, investigation based study.
Rohit Dey from KV had his own aerospace models through which he hoisted a flag. He is an internationally acclaimed student. He was felicitated in this occasion of science.
Apart from the exhibition, events like Robo Soccer, Aeromodelling, Watercraft and Science on the spot events will be conducted.
