Preparation: Nurturing Curiosity and Creativity
As the summer break began, the after-school classes at Sri Sathya Sai Vaatsalyam focused on nurturing the curiosity and creativity of the students, preparing them for the upcoming science exhibition. The students worked collaboratively in groups, engaging in various projects and activities. They explored electronics by building intricate projects, investigated chemical reactions, and created visual models to represent complex scientific concepts.
With guidance from dedicated teachers and their own hard work, the students’ efforts culminated in a vibrant and innovative science exhibition. The exhibits showcased the students’ understanding of scientific principles and their ability to apply that knowledge in practical and creative ways, reflecting their passion for scientific exploration.
Exhibition Day: Showcasing Brilliance
The day of the exhibition dawned with anticipation and nerves, but as each model found its place, it was clear that something special was unfolding. Upon the unveiling of the ‘Sri Sathya Sai Gnyana Dayini Science Exhibition’ poster, visitors streamed in—parents, villagers, and volunteers—and were met with enthusiastic explanations from the young exhibitors.
Inside the room were the setups of all the models, with the students standing beside them, explaining their projects with great interest and detail to all present. The models covered a wide range of subjects, including an Erupting Volcano, Human Organ Systems Charts, Deforestation, Air Cooler, Water Scarcity, Masaru Emoto’s Water Experiment, the Solar System, Animal Cell, COVID-19, Chandrayaan 3, Sustainable Development, and even an ATM machine! Additionally, the exhibition featured a small skit to explain the solar and lunar eclipse, with students enacting the roles of the sun, moon, and earth. This creative skit demonstrated the students’ understanding of complex concepts in an engaging and accessible manner.
Feedback and Impact: Nurturing Dreams, Igniting Futures
