The Regional Science Centre, Bhopal organised a three-day event ‘Science Fiesta’ to observe the World Science Day on Sunday at its premises. The students of the city enhanced their knowledge about science and its connection to everyday life and the society on World Science Day.
A Science Slogan contest for all the students is being organised for which the registrations have already been started. On the same day, a ‘Science behind the Exhibit’ contest for students was organised for students after the slogan contest.
The topic for science slogan was open, but the only criterion was that the slogan should convey a message. Moreover, the slogan should also be related to science in some way or the other, keeping this in mind the students showed their writing skills at their best.
Another event Science behind the Exhibit was all about the various exhibitions being put up at the centre. There are demonstrative installations as well.
The participant had to tell any science relation or fact behind each exhibition being displayed at the centre premises. This was the most fun loving activity for the students as they enjoyed this mental activity a lot.
The students from various schools participated in the competitions and enjoyed a lot. As it was a competition, the students received awards as a token of appreciation. First prize was won by Arpita Karmakar from Maharishi Vidya Mandir, second prize was won by Ritvik Pandey from Jawahar lal Nehru School and the Third prize was taken away by Akshi Rohra from Sagar Public School.
Notably, the best answers of both the competitions will be awarded on the concluding day. While talking to The Pioneer, education officer of Regional Science Centre MM Rout said, “World Science Day is observed worldwide on November 10 every year. Regional Science Centre, Bhopal is going to observe the World Science Day during November 10 to 12 2013. It would give a chance to the students to explore more about science and its unusual facts.”
Various educational activities would be organised during the Science Fiesta through which the students learned about the importance of this day and also to learn about science facts in an unusual way. The Fiesta would conclude on November 12.
