This pandemic has reset & shaped our lives in many ways. We are learning newer and smarter ways to do things and our first venture to conduct an online social gathering/event to foster knowledge sharing & create competitive spirit was Scienamite 2020.
GDGWS conducted its first-ever remote Inter-school Science event with aplomb, aptly called Scienamite 2020 and successfully organised it on a digital platform through Google meet on August 26, 2020. It was a one-day event comprising of three competitions involving students from grades 6 to 12
The three events included were:
Event 1: Model Making: Grades 6 to 8 – Topic – Young innovator’s race to save the world (Making energy-related models with minimum carbon footprint)
Event 2: Online Quiz: Grades 9 & 10
Event 3: Poster Presentation: Grades 11 & 12- Topic: Towards Sustainable development: Use of Solar Energy in our daily life.
The inaugural address to august gathering was given by our revered Director Principal, Dr Neeta Bali who welcomed the teams and mentioned that we have revived this event this year. Highlighting the overwhelming response received for this event, she added that twenty-seven schools comprising 400 participants from across India were in the event. The idea for such events was to create an online community for students to create camaraderie by coming together and sharing knowledge & experiences.
