Science Day


The Science Day event, organized in collaboration with Dasve School and CDAC Pune, was a dynamic celebration of scientific exploration, innovation, and gender inclusivity. The event featured a variety of activities designed to inspire and educate students, including a visit to the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (CDAC), a Science Exhibition, a lecture on "Women in Science", and a quiz competition.

CDAC Visit:

The event began with a visit to CDAC Pune, an institution at the forefront of research in high-performance computing, artificial intelligence (AI), and cybersecurity. The visit provided students with a hands-on learning experience, where they explored advanced computing systems like the PARAM supercomputer, gaining insights into AI, machine learning, and their applications in fields such as healthcare, finance, and defense. The students interacted with experts, learning about the future of computing technologies and the vital role they play in scientific and industrial advancements. This visit helped bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world applications, exposing students to cutting-edge technologies.

Science Exhibition:

Following the CDAC visit, students participated in a Science Exhibition, which allowed them to showcase their scientific projects. The exhibition featured diverse topics such as renewable energy, robotics, environmental conservation, and biotechnology. Students presented their projects, demonstrating creativity and practical knowledge gained through their studies. The exhibition encouraged critical thinking and innovation while promoting the importance of scientific inquiry. It also provided a platform for students to practice communication skills by explaining their projects to visitors and engaging in discussions with peers and teachers. The exhibition fostered a spirit of teamwork and collaboration, as students worked together on projects, learning from each other’s ideas.

A special lecture on "Women in Science" was also held, addressing the achievements of women in the scientific community and promoting gender equality in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). The lecture highlighted the contributions of pioneering female scientists such as Marie Curie and contemporary role models like Frances Arnold, inspiring young girls to pursue careers in scientific fields. The speaker discussed the challenges women face in these industries, such as gender bias and unequal opportunities, and encouraged students, especially girls, to break barriers and follow their passion for science. This lecture reinforced the message that women can make significant contributions to science and innovation.

To conclude the event, a quiz competition was held for the students, testing their knowledge of science across various subjects like physics, chemistry, biology, and general science. The quiz fostered healthy competition and engagement, while reinforcing the concepts discussed during the CDAC visit and science exhibition. Students participated in teams, promoting collaboration and critical thinking. The winning teams were awarded prizes, including science kits and certificates, further motivating students to continue exploring science.

The Science Day event was a highly successful and enriching experience for all participants. It effectively combined learning with fun, fostering curiosity, creativity, and an appreciation for science. The CDAC visit gave students insight into advanced technology, while the exhibition allowed them to showcase their skills and knowledge. The lecture on women in science inspired young girls to pursue careers in STEM, and the quiz competition added an element of excitement. Overall, the event not only celebrated science but also emphasized the importance of diversity, innovation, and collaboration in shaping the future of scientific progress.
