Workshop Conducted

A Five days workshop on “Innovation for Future “organised by ATL during 8 to 13 March 2019. Eminent scientists, renowned professors and innovators from NISER, IMMT, Regional science centre attended this workshop. The students interacted with these great personalities and got learning experiences through hands on activities and field trips.

8 March 2019 Professor (Dr.) Kishor Panigrahi from NISER joined the workshop. He discussed on a wide range of Plant Biology and guided students how to use the microscope. Students enjoyed a lot after observing the microscopic view of plant cell and human cell etc…through microscope.

Dr Manas Senapati, mentor ATL exchanged his thought with the students related to the climate change and pollution and it’s prevention in innovative ways on the earth. In the second half hands on activities were carried out by Mr. Tanmay Kumar Nayak. In this session students learned about arduino and its applications. Also they learned about various sensors. They developed prototype on how to measure distance using ultrasonic sensor and arduino. In this session students also learned about solar power and its benefits and designed solar powered emergency lights.
