The Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IITGN) commended a week-long scientific awareness program held on its campus for schoolchildren in grades 11t and 12. Around 800 school students and instructors from Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar will participate in various events.
The initiative is supported by the Department of Science and Technology (DST). The event is part of the Government of India’s ‘Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav’ celebrations to commemorate 75 years of independence.
To popularise STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) learning and encourage students to seek jobs in STEM sectors, the Institute has arranged a number of engaging and interactive events for visiting school kids.
