The Anna Science Centre-Planetarium in Tiruchirappalli (Trichy) is set to ignite young minds with an exciting educational initiative this season. The centre will conduct a special three-day winter science camp designed exclusively for school students. This immersive learning experience is scheduled to begin on January 9.
Camp Curriculum: A Blend of Modern Science and Innovation
The winter science camp has been meticulously planned to cover a spectrum of fascinating and future-ready topics. Students will get hands-on exposure to cutting-edge fields that are shaping our world. The primary focus areas will include astronomy, artificial intelligence (AI), environmental science, and robotics.
In a unique addition to the curriculum, the organisers will bring in origami experts to conduct specialised workshops. This activity is designed to blend art with scientific principles, enhancing creativity and structural understanding among participants.
Registration Details and Important Dates
Parents and interested children are encouraged to secure a spot promptly. Registration must be completed by contacting the planetarium on or before January 8. The contact numbers for registration are 0431-2332190, 2331016, and 2331921.
It is crucial to note that seats will be allocated strictly on a first-come, first-served basis. Early registration is highly recommended to avoid disappointment, as such camps often see high demand from students eager to learn beyond their school syllabus.
Upcoming Science and Maths Aptitude Tests
Beyond the winter camp, the Anna Science Centre has also lined up aptitude tests for different age groups. On January 25, the centre will conduct a science aptitude test for students of Class IX and X.
Following this, a mathematics aptitude test for students from Class V to Class VIII will be held on February 8. These tests provide excellent platforms for students to gauge their understanding and aptitude in core scientific and mathematical disciplines.
These initiatives by the Anna Science Centre-Planetarium underscore a strong commitment to promoting STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education outside the traditional classroom. They offer students in Trichy and surrounding regions valuable opportunities to explore, experiment, and fuel their curiosity about the universe and technology.
