In our constant endeavour to encourage thinking out of the box, the 'Apprentice Scientist Competition' was once again held this year.

The inter school annual event is a much awaited one, since children get an opportunity here to learn concepts through simple hands on experiments.

The sessions included activities related to everyday life, based on elementary concepts in Biology, Chemistry and Physics.

The distinguished judges were M. Alain Doressoundiram, renowned Astro Physicist associated with the Observatoire de Paris, Dr. Kanchan Kumar Chowdhury, Senior Curator, National Council of Science Museums, Kolkata and Mr. S. Das, Curator, Birla Industrial and Technological Museum, Kolkata. They conducted interactive sessions with each group and were very impressed by the enthusiasm and creativity of the participants.
