Programme Details
Nehru Science Centre, in association with the Marathi Vidnyan Parishad, is thrilled to present the Exercise in Innovative Thinking programme. This activity-based science learning event is specially designed for students from Std. 8th to 10th.
Innovative thinking requires courage to explore new methods, techniques, and uncharted paths. It also demands the wisdom to operate within available resources. This form of thinking cannot be taught in a conventional way—it must be nurtured through hands-on learning.
To encourage this, they offer the ‘Exercise in Innovative Thinking.’ Here, students develop their own experimental procedures using provided apparatus to explore scientific concepts they have already studied. No spoon-feeding—just guidance from trained, enthusiastic volunteers.
Interaction with students in Marathi, Hindi, and English. Each batch accommodates 20 students.
Eligibility
For students of Std. VII, VIII, IX, X.
Date
07.12.2024.
