The Centre has planned various curriculum based activities specially designed for students of class 6 th to 10 th for about 2.30 hours duration. The latest state of art educational technological tools are also being used in organising the activities. School student groups are invited to participate in the activities. Students group can choose a topic(pls see the attached document) and Hands –on session will be organised with various activities at ‘Innovation Space’ (IS) which is equipped with scientific instruments and gadgets.
