TM Srikanth, Vidya Vanam’s Academic Coordinator, and Sarbamit Choudhury Senior Science Teacher, participated in a science communication workshop organised by Zoo Outreach Organisation, which dealt with simplifying science for students and common people alike and to create an interest in science. A group of Vidya Vanam’s students accompanied by Srikanth were part of the Kids Ask Scientist programme by Mango Education. Children from different schools interacted with B Hariharan, scientist from the Cosmic Ray Laboratory, Ooty, and Dr Sanjay Molur of Zoo Outreach Organisation.
Srikanth wrote about both these programmes for The Hindu MetroPlus Coimbatore edition. Links below:
