National Science Day Celebrations

February 2020: On the occasion of National Science Day, UMS Punsiya, Mohanpur Block Deoghar hosted an event with participation from a total of nine partnering Schools under the Satya Bharti Quality Support Program namely UMS Punsiya, UMS Janaki, UMS Kharagdiha, UHS Balsara, MS Vivekanand, UMS Choupa, UMS Sighwa, UMS Chirudih and UMS Khagra. The event witnessed an enthusiastic participation from students as well as teachers.

As a part of the event, a workshop on Science Model Making was organised in which, representatives from each School ideated a concept that they wished to work upon, and with the material provided, constructed the models related to the topic chosen. The idea behind the workshop was to encourage students to take initiative while learning the practical aspects of the concepts they are learning in the classrooms. It also gave students an opportunity to explore more through the projects of the other student groups and inculcated the sense of peer-based learning. The models included Water Dispenser, Rain Water Harvesting Model, Solar System, Wind Energy, Water Cycle, Solar Power House etc.

Post the workshop, a Science Model Exhibition was organized which was attended by the parents, teachers as well as community members. The event saw a successful conclusion where children represented their ideas and took another step forward in their journey towards being the change agents.
