Sci-Tech Fest
To
explore new horizons and push scientific frontiers further, it is vital that
our youth develop a passion for science. Thus, Witty International
School, Pawan Baug celebrated the National Science Day on 28th February, 2018
in order to commemorate the invention of the Raman Effect (effect on scattering
of light when passing through different materials). Sir C.V.Raman’s great
success and discovery has been marked in the Indian history through this day.
The celebrations of the Science week started a week long prior.
The main
objective of celebrating National Science Day is to widely spread a message
about the significance of scientific applications in the daily life of people,
to display all the activities, efforts and achievements in the field of science
for human welfare. The first competition held was a ‘Sci-toon’ contest where
the students had to design and depict the future Earth. This event aimed to
draw attention to the environmental concerns faced across the world and to
find out how we can help make the world a better, safer place – not only for
today, but for future generations as well!
The nature of our 21st century development challenges
requires a shift in thinking and action that will better prepare us for the future,
while enabling more effective development interventions today. The resilience
of our ecosystems, the security of natural resources, and the stability of
Earth's life-support systems are necessary for humans to thrive. To enable the
broadening of a student’s horizon towards Science and its various components,
an Elocution competition was conducted on topics such as ‘Science and
Technology for Sustainable future, Alien Life – Fact or Fiction, Earth – our
most valuable resource’ followed by a slogan writing competition.
Taking a camera, shooting a picture is
an easy deal. What about going further? What about using the pictures to
discover Science? From a water drop to a rainbow, from a bubble to a geyser,
from smoke to light, from microscopy to astronomy, everywhere, we are facing
scientific phenomena. Witty
International Science week aimed to give children an opportunity to freeze
them for eternity by organising a Science Nature Photography competition. From a glowing single
atom lit up by a laser, to an amazing close-up of a butterfly wing, the beauty
of Science was revealed in stunning photos.
To
mark the end of the Science week, an extravagant Science exhibition was held
for all students. The exhibition focussed on ingraining a scientific and
creative attitude in our young students to make them comprehend
the interdependence of science by hands – on – experience. The
exhibition seeks to engage children and teachers to synergise experience and
motivate each other to design and develop something novel. The enthusiasm and
skill clubbed with in depth knowledge of Physics, Chemistry and Biology was
commendable. The exhibits included still models, working models and research
base projects which were very innovative and relevant in today’s times. The young scientists showcased their imagination and
ability in the innovative world of Science.
The scientific models ranged from the gear car, rocket
launch, magnetic train, telescope, volcano eruption, motor boat, mini vacuum
cleaner, rainbow density, remote control car, futuristic kitchen and much more.
The Principal, Mr Bijo Kurian addressed, “We need to develop
scientific temper among school children so that they could be better
scientists, better citizens and capable of governing their personal thoughts
and actions in a scientific manner. Science exhibitions will generate a deep
interest in young minds. It makes an effort to understand every activity they
are engaged in by asking questions and seeking answers.”
