The Chhattisgarh Government will be constructing a ‘Mega Science Centre’ at the district level and ‘mini science centres’ in the seven blocks of the insurgency infested district.
The Mega Science Centre would be established at the Kanker district headquarters.
Currently, the district does not have any Science Centre or Interactive Museum to help children explore and experience the wonders of science, officials stated.
The Mega Science Centre would demonstrate interactive science models covering all the major themes which the students can demonstrate and understand the process involved.
All the experiments and models would cover standard theories and principles of the respective subject. At least one batch of teachers would be trained on the importance of Science Centre ( both for Mega and Mini Science Centre) explaining the use of all experiments, how it should be demonstrated to children, the information to be shared with the children and the principles to be explained to them. In the best science centres learning is multi-sensory and the exhibits support many learning styles and abilities.
