Introduction:
With an aim to make students understand scientific knowledge through science activities, to allow them to work in the field of their interest and hone their skills in presentation, the science club was formed in our college. The club has a list of activities designed with intent to encourage students to participate in creative projects and activities.
The Science Club consists of a group of students from different pedagogies who wish to explore various branches in science. The club is open to all students. The purpose of the Science Club is to promote curiosity, empathetic attitude, and knowledge of the scientific world amongst the college students and local community.
The club meets once a week under the leadership of the Coordinator. The President of Science Club welcomes all the members present and orients the group about the programme scheduled for that day. The Secretary reads the minutes of the previous meet and the report is passed and seconded by any of the club members. Any changes or suggestions are modified by the secretary. The group in charge of the particular activity gives information about the activity. To help students develop an independent, logical and creative mind, the club organises activities or competitions with the whole hearted participation from its club members. The club conducts investigatory projects and interschool activities wherein the students take keen interest in taking scientific topics and working enthusiastically for the activiites.
