22-02-2023

Practical knowledge is a quintessential part of learning science and students' need for exposure is quite high. It's essential that we incorporate a balance of theory and experiments and that's the reason EIS arranges various programs for experiential learning.

Indo Science Education Trust and NM Foundation & Research Center organized Maha-Edu-Fest 2023 in Lokseva school. More than 60 scientists from various reputed institutes like ISRO, IPR and PRL, 100 + schools and 25000+ students participated in the 5 days fest from 13th Feb to 17th Feb 2023. Educon International School was invited to participate in the same.

EIS students of grades 7th, 8th, and 9th visited the space-related ISRO exhibits including GSLV, PSLV models along with satellite models. Twenty-one working models of Institute of Plasma Research [IPR] Laboratory were also exhibited where EIS students received an opportunity to interact with the scientists who explained to them real-life applications of plasma and its usage in various walks of life. "Plasma", being a relatively new concept for all, made them curious enough to ask plenty of questions to the scientists. The ISRO models and telescope viewing were exciting for them as well. This visit reiterated the achievements of India in extremely advanced innovations and this reinstalled the feeling of appreciation for the contribution of India towards science and technology. It was a great experience for our young minds to explore, engage, and experience.
