Science Gallery Bengaluru (SGB) bridges the gap between science and art, fostering curiosity and appreciation among young minds. The recent Carbon exhibition exemplifies this by using art to narrate the story of Carbon, facilitated by trained CARBON mediators who engage visitors in meaningful discussions about climate change and the multifaceted role of the element.
Conferences offer opportunities for scientists to share their work, get feedback for it, and find new avenues of exploration. The Science Undergraduate Research Conference (SURC) hosted by Azim Premji University in December 2023 offered this experience to undergraduate students from across India pursuing science research. In this article, one of the organisers of the conference shares how students at this stage of education can benefit from such events.
India’s vast and diverse educational landscape requires more than just teachers; it demands a wide array of education professionals to address challenges such as language diversity and curriculum development. Azim Premji University is leading efforts to nurture such professionals through its postgraduate programs, aligning with the National Education Policy’s vision to transform India’s education system.
The Lodha Genius Programme (LGP) at Ashoka University, Haryana, offers high school students a unique opportunity to engage in real-world science and mathematics. Through hands-on experiences in fields like ecological sciences, students are encouraged to ask big questions, participate in fieldwork, and explore their scientific interests.
