Popular Science Programme
 
The Gujarat Science City is celebrating science by conducting various scientific and educational activities round the year to inculcate scientific temper among the school children and to disseminate science among the mass.
 
The programmes has been classified as:
 
(i) science popularization programmes: celebrating science,
(ii) academic programmes on science and math,
(iii) material development,
(iv) training volunteers,
(v) media resource centre, and
(vi) coordination of science clubs etc.
 

The broad objective of these programs is to create and sustain a culture of learning that fosters the process of personal inquisitive, experimentation, communication, documentation, understanding, and the sharing of values about our science and society. The Science City also designed a unique Scientific Event Calendar for this purpose.

The programme provides an opportunity for students to become immerse in the adventure of science learning by spending an extended period at Science City. The creative, enthusiastic and entrepreneurial approach of each of the activitities makes it effective and relevant, meeting the secondary and higher secondary school curriculum.

The programmes focused to shape and sensitize young minds and meaningfully connect our communities to the world around us, reaching students, teachers and families with the fascination and promise of careers in the sciences.

Gujarat Science City has also developed complete training module for using puppetry for S&T communication, Popular Science writing, illustration and journalism in regional language, Nature Camp, Learning Mathematics through Origami, Hydroponics - Fun with plant with soil less condition, etc. A puppetry corner has been functioning for dissemination of scientific messages in very interesting and interactive manner. Regular demonstrations on Fun Chemistry, math and science, sky observation, science model making activity is going on for students and teachers.

A series of popular science lectures titled as ‘SCIENCE MATTERS’ has been organized since May 2006 in every month. The series invites very eminent scientist, technocrats, and academicians to interact on the cutting edge of science and technology among young students, researchers, faculties and media persons.

Academic programme like Science Olympiads have been designed for meritorious students to achieve the excellence at national and international level. Lots of training programmes and interactive workshops have been organized for different target groups with different themes and concepts.
