summer camp 2013 at Govt school

The main purpose of organizing such activities was to teach the students that how the things really work. What is the science behind them in a very interesting and proper way! The science is not only what we have studied and what are we studying in books but it is something beyond books. It is all about practical doing and it is the best way to understand it



The students of class 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th took an active part in that workshop and were mainly divided into two main groups. Both the groups were comprised of almost 50-60 students and were further divided into 10 teams of 5-6 students. Each group worked on 10 different projects and two competitions in two days.
