Jamshedpur, Dec. 6: One of the three city institutions chosen for NITI Aayog's proposed Atal Tinkering Laboratory, Jamshedpur Public School (JPS) is already high on science.
JPS organised a daylong inter-school science safari today to give steel city students an opportunity to apply their brains to innovation.
The science fest, with 22 events, tested the mettle of 400 students from 14 city schools.
Students from Jamshedpur Public School, Little Flower School, Vidya Bharati Chinmaya Vidyalaya, Jusco School South Park, Valley View School, Hill Top School, Baridih High School, Ramkrishna Mission Sidhgora, Motilal Nehru Public School, Shiksha Niketan, Kerala Public School Burmamines, AIWC Academy of Excellence, SDSM School of Excellence and BSS Pranav Children's World had a gala time learning by doing.
Students designed robots from metal junk, painted characters based on Jungle Book on hands, took part in nukkad natak, cryptic crossword puzzle, extempore, debate, treasure hunt, collage, short story writing, PowerPoint presentations and web-page coding.
"We believe there is science in everything. We have used the essence of science in dance and theatre," said Abhimanyu Roy, a Class XII student of JPS. Vidya Bharti Chinmaya Vidyalaya won the overall trophy while Little Flower School was runner-up.
"We made Swachh robots under Swachh Bharat Mission. One robot sweeps and another dumps trash into a bin," said Ashish Mahto and Prince, Class X and XI students of Vidya Bharati Chinmaya Vidyalaya.
