ಕುಪ್ಪಂ: ಅಗಸ್ತ್ಯ ಫೌಂಡೇಶನ್ ಕೇಂದ್ರ ; ಒಂದು ಅದ್ಭುತ ವಿಜ್ಞಾನ ಲೋಕ!

ಕುಪ್ಪಂನ ಅಗಸ್ತ್ಯ ಫೌಂಡೇಶನ್ ಕೇಂದ್ರಕ್ಕೆ ಭೇಟಿ ನೀಡಿದ್ದು, ನಿಜಕ್ಕೂ ಮತ್ತೊಂದು ವಿಸ್ಮಯ ಲೋಕಕ್ಕೆ ಪಯಣಿಸಿದ ಅನುಭವ ನೀಡಿತು.

ಇಲ್ಲಿನ ವೈಜ್ಞಾನಿಕ ಪ್ರದರ್ಶಿಕೆಗಳು ಹಾಗೂ ಪ್ರಾಯೋಗಿಕವಾಗಿ ಕಲಿಯಲು ಇರುವ ವಿಪುಲ ಅವಕಾಶಗಳು ವಿಜ್ಞಾನದ ಜಗತ್ತಿನಲ್ಲಿ ವಿಹರಿಸಿದಂತಹ ಅನುಭವ ನೀಡಿದವು.

ಅತಿ ಕ್ಲಿಷ್ಟಕರವಾದ ವೈಜ್ಞಾನಿಕ ಸಂಗತಿಗಳನ್ನು ಸಹ ಮಕ್ಕಳು ಅತಿ ಸುಲಭವಾಗಿ ಅರ್ಥಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವಂತೆ ರೂಪಿಸಿರುವ ವಿಧಾನ ಶ್ಲಾಘನೀಯ. ಕೇವಲ ಪುಸ್ತಕದ ಓದಿಗೆ ಸೀಮಿತವಾಗದೆ, ‘ಕೈಯಾರೆ ಕಲಿಕೆ’ ಮೂಲಕ ವಿಜ್ಞಾನವನ್ನು ಸರಳಗೊಳಿಸಿರುವ ಈ ಪ್ರಯತ್ನ ಪರಿಣಾಮಕಾರಿಯೂ ಹೌದು.

ಇಂತಹ ಅನುಭವಾತ್ಮಕ ಕಲಿಕೆ ಮಕ್ಕಳಲ್ಲಿ ಸೃಜನಶೀಲತೆ, ಕುತೂಹಲ ಹಾಗೂ ಸಮಸ್ಯೆ ಪರಿಹಾರ ಸಾಮರ್ಥ್ಯಗಳನ್ನು ಬೆಳೆಸುವಲ್ಲಿ ಮಹತ್ತರ ಪಾತ್ರವಹಿಸುತ್ತದೆ. ವಿಜ್ಞಾನವನ್ನು ಅನುಭವದ ಮೂಲಕ ಕಲಿಯುವ ಸಂಸ್ಕೃತಿಯನ್ನು ಬೆಳೆಸುತ್ತಿರುವ ಈ ಕೇಂದ್ರವು ನಿಜಕ್ಕೂ ಪ್ರೇರಣಾದಾಯಕವಾಗಿದೆ.

"ಜ್ಞಾನದ ಹಾದಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಹೆಮ್ಮೆಯ ಸಾಧನೆ!"

ದೇವನಹಳ್ಳಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಆಯೋಜಿಸಲಾಗಿದ್ದ "ವಿಜ್ಞಾನ ಮತ್ತು ತಂತ್ರಜ್ಞಾನ ರಸಪ್ರಶ್ನೆ 2025-26" ರ ಬೌದ್ಧಿಕ ಮಹಾ ಸಂಗ್ರಾಮದಲ್ಲಿ, ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಗ್ರಾಮಾಂತರ ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಯ ದೇವನಹಳ್ಳಿ ತಾಲ್ಲೂಕಿನ ಶ್ರೀಮತಿ ಇಂದಿರಾಗಾಂಧಿ ವಸತಿ ಶಾಲೆ (ಬೈರಾಪುರ) ಪ್ರಥಮ ಸ್ಥಾನ ಗಳಿಸಿ ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಗೆ ಕೀರ್ತಿ ತಂದಿರುವುದು ಅತ್ಯಂತ ಹೆಮ್ಮೆಯ ವಿಷಯವಾಗಿದೆ.

ಈ ಜ್ಞಾನದ ಸ್ಪರ್ಧೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಪಾಲ್ಗೊಂಡಿದ್ದ ತಾಲ್ಲೂಕಿನ ಎಲ್ಲಾ 50 ಶಾಲೆಗಳ ವಿದ್ಯಾರ್ಥಿಗಳ ಅದ್ಭುತ ಜ್ಞಾನಾಸಕ್ತಿ ಮತ್ತು ಸ್ಪರ್ಧಾತ್ಮಕ ಉತ್ಸಾಹವು ನಿಜಕ್ಕೂ ಶ್ಲಾಘನೀಯ.

ವಿಜೇತ ವಿದ್ಯಾರ್ಥಿಗಳ ಈ ಅಮೋಘ ಸಾಧನೆಯು ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಯ ಇತರೆ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ವಿದ್ಯಾರ್ಥಿಗಳಿಗೆ ವಿಜ್ಞಾನ ಮತ್ತು ತಂತ್ರಜ್ಞಾನ ಕ್ಷೇತ್ರದಲ್ಲಿ ಉನ್ನತ ಮೈಲಿಗಲ್ಲುಗಳನ್ನು ಸ್ಥಾಪಿಸಲು ದಾರಿದೀಪ ಹಾಗೂ ಸ್ಪೂರ್ತಿಯಾಗಲಿ ಎಂದು ಹಾರೈಸುತ್ತೇವೆ.

ಈ ಸಾಧಕ ವಿದ್ಯಾರ್ಥಿಗಳಿಗೆ, ಮಾರ್ಗದರ್ಶನ ನೀಡಿದ ಪ್ರಾಂಶುಪಾಲರಿಗೆ ಹಾಗೂ ಶಿಕ್ಷಕ ವೃಂದಕ್ಕೆ ಅಭಿನಂದನೆಗಳ.

It was such a fun experience to engage with bright students (11th graders) from Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya, coming from many states across the country. Rozi Shiksha Kendra at @IITKanpur in collaboration with @AgastyaOrg & Pravaha Foundation, hosted this program.

[IIT Kanpur @IITKanpur]

IIT Kanpur hosted a vibrant group of 24 Class 12 students from across India at the Ranjit Singh Rozi Shiksha Kendra, IIT Kanpur, under the aegis of the Agastya International Foundation’s Science Enrichment Program. The visit offered students a rare opportunity to engage with hands-on science, creativity, and design-led learning at one of India’s premier academic institutions.

The morning began with interactive sessions in the science labs, with a parallel session in pottery. Next, interns from the RSK design team conducted creative workshops focused on sustainable design practices, concluding with a powerful session on visual storytelling, encouraging students to explore communication through visual media and design.

The engaging and thoughtfully curated activities provided an enriching experience for the students, fostering scientific curiosity and creative confidence. Prof. Sandeep Sangal, Principal Investigator of RSK, along with Mrs. Rita Singh, Project Executive Officer, and members of the RSK team expressed their delight in hosting such enthusiastic and inquisitive young minds.

Synquizitive, which is now in its third year, has made a significant impact in fostering a culture of curiosity and love for science among young minds. By providing equal opportunities for students in government schools to explore the world of science, we aim to ignite their passion for learning, empower them to pursue scientific careers, and unlock their potential to shape a brighter future for themselves and society. It is an extension of our commitment to bridge educational disparities and promote equitable access to science education.

Congratulations to the winners of Synquizitive Finals, as well as other regional-level winners. It was good to see the enthusiasm of all the teams from 200 schools who were a part of #Synquizitive.

Congratulations to Team @Biocon_FDN and Team @SyngeneIntl on this great initiative.
