DO - IT - YOURSELF ACTIVITY WORKSHOPS

2014

No Million scientist

for Billion humanityin a century

Our Mission Our aim is to create an awareness about science and excite young minds to take up research.

To provide a platform for children to exchange ideas and experiences and in the process kindle a desire to pursue science in their future.Inspired by Mr. Arvind Gupta

Arvind Gupta has been to over 3,500 schools in 40+ years, and influenced the lives of millions of children across the world through his experiments. His website http://arvindguptatoys.com, has over 4000 videos in 18 languages,

The Futurist is a simple thought intending to stimulate young minds to go for innovation and creation which can lead humanity to the path of achievement. A young mind has enormous potential to create almost anything. Keeping in mind the capability of our younger generation, The Futurist intends to encourage them to go for innovations and to create their own models for future.

The Futurist will create a solid platform for young children to transform their basic study into innovations and discoveries by practising hands on experiments, trash to toy and dump to pump experiment methods. We aim to help them see that science is a keyhole to the future which will help them make a difference in their lives and at the same time make a worthwhile contribution to their society and country too.

The Futurist is a hunt for young scientists who can change the world with their ideas and prove the fact that age and education are not barriers for any creation or innovation.

The Futurist intends to achieve its goal through simple science experiments, workshops, fine arts & origami workshop throughout the year.

DO - ITYOURSELF

Over the years the concept of playing and recreation have changed drastically.

Children today prefer to spend their free time watching TV and playing video games.

Outdoor activities and playing with others of their age are no longer a priority for them.

This limits their mental and physical growth to a great extent.

Is there something that can be done to change this trend ?

TheHistory

The 19th century is called the golden era, the time when many inventions came to light like automobiles, radio etc.. ideas that provided solution to our needs.

These inventions where further en-hanced in the 20th century and turned dreams to reality.

21st century brought the world closer than ever, now everything is possible. Inventions & discoveries are part of our lives.

Demands create Necessity

Necessity leads to solutions.

Albert Einstein

What is the first word that comes to mind when you think of Albert Einstein?

Genius !In fact Einstein was unable to speak fluently until he was 12 yrs old.

At school he smelled of dill pickles and peanut butter and his clothes were always disheveled.

Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.

Thomas Edison

What do you think about his educational background?

He had very little formal education as a child. Attending school only for months, he was taught reading, writing and arithmetic by his mother.

Unfortunately, there seems to be far more opportunity out there than ability. We should remember that good fortune often happens when opportunity meets with preparation.

INSPIRINGTHE

WORLD

Louis Braille

At age 16, Braille invented an alphabet for the blind.

At 18, he started experimenting with sound and went on to invent the telephone.Alexander Graham Bell

When she was 13, Ada Lovelace became fascinated with math and went on to write the first computer

Ada Lovelace

No barriers for innovation Curosity Leads to Innovations

DO - IT YOURSELF

Discoveries indicate that any person who has the courage to think beyond the limits has the potential to be a scientist.

There can be no barriers for an intuitive mind, one with innovative ideas and the ability to turn them into inventions.

Throughout history many great scientists de-veloped their curiosity for science at an early age and went on to make groundbreaking discoveries that changed our way of living.

What are Simple ScienceExperiments ?

Simple science is the study of scientific concepts through practical experiments using handy compo-nents; explaining physics, chemistry, biology, math-ematics, astronomy, and so on.......

How Simple Science Will Benefit Young Children ?

The Futurist strives to inculcate strong values and an envi-ronment friendly attitude in its teachings, enabling chil-dren to be responsible citizens and better human beings.

By practicing the simple science experiments the child will learn to integrate every skill that has been taught to him.

The ability to think ‘why’ and ‘how’ gets automatically embedded in a child when he works on live projects. This develops a sense of confidence in them to think for them-

selves and face any situations.

Research by UNESCO & Stanford have shown that children’s understanding of the content increases by 60 % when exposed to a hands-on learning approach.

Practical knowledge of science has paved the way for many kids to become future scientists and inventors.

Nuclear Fusion Reactor Michigan high school student Thiago Olsen built a nuclear fusion reactor in his garage when he was only 15 years old. How did he do it? He studied physics textbooks, used vacuum pump manuals, and surfed the Web for the best deals on parts. While his device is not self-sustaining and produces fusion only on a small scale, it's a pretty impressive feat for any teenager.

Thiago Olsen Shree Bose

Problems With Ovarian Cancer TreatmentTaking top prize at the Google Science Fair, Bose will get to spend several weeks studying marine life in the Galapagos Islands. The work that netted her this prize is awe-inspiring, especially coming from a teenager. Bose uncovered a number of problems with popular ovarian cancer treatments and drugs, producing a report that would be more at home in a medical journal than a high school classroom. Hopefully, this will influence some changes in how treatment is doled out to suffering patients.

Few Young Futurists

Chemical-Sniffing LEGO RobotMany a science fair projects involve LEGOs, but few on the level that Anna Simpson's did. Her robot, built of the plastic blocks,is capable of sniffing out toxic chemicals and other hazards while keeping humans at a safe distance. Simpson's work won her the California State Science Fair and could have a number of industrial and public safety applications if adapted.

Anna Simpson Daniel Burd

Plastic-Eating Microbe-Daniel BurdPlastic that is simply dumped into landfills can take centuries to decompose, if it ever really does, but this young thinker came up with a better way. Burd beat out leading scientists to discovering a microbe that eats plastic, increasing the rate of decomposition by more than 40 percent. This project won him the Canada-Wide Science Fair and garnered a fair amount of international media attention as well.

Few Young Futurists

Anand Srinivasan

Mind-controlled Prosthetic LimbsIt's hard to believe that this awe-inspiring science project came from the mind of a 14-year-old. Hooking his brain up to an EEG scanner, Srinivasan worked to test out a new method of improving mind-controlled prosthetic limbs. He found that data from the EEG could help with data classification and signal processing when using them, providing a better and more efficient user experience.

The winners of Google Science Fair: 2013.
