The program is intended for students from 8th - 10th standards.

The program will consist of lectures and demonstrations in a range of topics by students and professors of the institute. We hope to be able to share with students the curiosity and excitement that we have for mathematics, science and research.

The program is free. Lunch and snacks will be provided.

The workshop is meant for local schools. IMSc is unable to provide any support towards travel and accommodation.

You can print out a poster for your school.


The videos and photos of the event are now available. See other IMSc outreach programs here.
