The Ashoka University, in a bid to provide Indian students with an Ivy league quality education, organised a workshop on ‘Physics for Poets’ for the Class XI and XII students and their parents at the Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar here recently.
The workshop, in keeping with the university’s goal of training students to think critically across disciplines, employed fundamental principles of physics to illuminate topical issues as well as the hidden science behind daily experiences. Instructor Arjendu Pattanayak is a visiting faculty at the Ashoka University and a Physics Professor at the Carleton College, USA. Besides, an open house was also held on the occasion to provide an opportunity to the students and parents to interact with the faculties and the admissions team of the university and engage them in understanding new educational opportunities available in India
