The Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IITGN) commenced a week-long Science Awareness Programme on its campus from Tuesday for school students of classes 11th and 12th (Science stream). More than 800 school students and teachers from the Ahmedabad/Gandhinagar region are going to participate in the Science Awareness Week activities that will go on from morning 8 am to 2 pm until February 25, 2022.

Moreover, students also visited IITGN laboratories and the Sports Complex. IITGN students from various disciplines are actively contributing to the event by volunteering in scientific demonstrations and guiding students during lab visits. 

About 200 students with their teachers visited IITGN today under this programme and thoroughly enjoyed the activities. Aastha Rawat, a 12th Science student from Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya, Gandhinagar, said, “I really enjoyed this visit to IITGN and various labs. We could see so many scientific demonstrations in-person and learnt a lot.”

Anand and Himanshu, two classmates of class 11 Science, from Kendriya Vidyalaya, Ahmedabad Cantonment, said, “It felt fantastic to visit new labs here and get to see theories from textbooks translating into actual scientific experiments. We enjoyed attempting the wire loop game.”
