✨Empowering Young Minds Through Science ✨

HBCSE, in collaboration with IUCAA and the Panchayat Samiti of the Education Department, Ambegaon Taluka, organized an educational visit for students and teachers from Zilla Parishad schools. Around 35 participants, including students from Grades 6 & 7 along with teachers, were part of this enriching initiative.

The objective of this visit was to provide meaningful scientific exposure and learning opportunities to students and educators from rural and tribal areas, particularly those in the region around the IUCAA Girawali Observatory. 🔭✨

At HBCSE, participants engaged in interactive sessions designed to spark curiosity and strengthen scientific thinking. These sessions were thoughtfully planned and conducted by OAE India and the Vigyan Pratibha team, making the experience engaging and impactful. 🔭✨⭐️

✨⚛️We were pleased to host Daniel Henryk Rasolt, the founder and chief editor of .interplex at .tifr for an engaging talk on “Weaving Evidence-Based, Nuanced Communication with Interdisciplinary Collaboration.”⚛️✨

🧮 .tifr has organised a Mathematics Problem Solving Workshop Camp from 16–18 March in collaboration with

A total of 31 enthusiastic students participating in this camp, engaging in mathematical discussions, problem-solving sessions, and collaborative learning. 🧮
