For the intention of IISF2015, fortunately I was able to make a group of fifty students with ten science teachers and visited IISF2015. Thanks Mr Ravikumar.S Correspondent Sri Gowthami Smart School Rajahmundry, Mr Anil Director The Sun School Vigainagaram for making it happen with special thanks to parents of all these children, allowing children for a such long trip of almost nine days.
Children got inspired to great extents, after visiting IISF2015 many children changed their ambitions by choosing science careers. They were interacted with eminent scientist of the country, Director & Chairman of IITs & Union Ministers of Science & technologies.
If you missed IISF2015 there at IIT Delhi, but here you are not. Children hopefully you will make use of all this content which will help you to develop your scientific temperament and the attitude through which you will be next Sir CVRaman / Dr Kalams.
