The exhibition was inaugurated by senior ISRO scientist Srinath Ratnakumar<\/strong>, who emphasized the importance of nurturing curiosity among students. \u201cTo become good scientists, students must work hard, develop experiments, and take science seriously,\u201d he said, while encouraging teachers to continue inspiring the next generation.<\/p>\n This year\u2019s edition features 80 students from seven schools<\/strong>, including Future Citizens of India, Siddhartha International School, Cathedral PU College, NMH Global School (Bengaluru), and Royal School and Dolphin International School (Chikkaballapura). Together, they presented 26 innovative experiments<\/strong> covering fundamental concepts in physics, chemistry, and mathematics.<\/p>\n Among the most engaging demonstrations were the Magnetic Pendulum That Doesn\u2019t Rest<\/em>, Japan\u2019s Bullet Train Model<\/em>, Iodine Finger Printing<\/em>, Carbon Dioxide Supports Combustion<\/em>, Fluorescence of Vitamin B2<\/em>, Gymnastic Nails<\/em>, and experiments on Surface Tension<\/em> and Total Internal Reflection<\/em>. Visitors witnessed how everyday scientific principles can be applied in creative ways.<\/p>\n Dr. V. R. Guruprasad<\/strong>, Director of JNP and a former ISRO scientist, said the program was designed to make science learning interactive and fun. \u201cMerely studying in school is not enough. Students must experiment and participate in such programs to build confidence and prepare for life\u2019s challenges,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n The exhibition drew more than 600 students, teachers, and visitors<\/strong> on its opening day. With free entry, the event is open to the public until September 14, between 10:30 am and 4:30 pm.<\/p>\n Dr. Guruprasad underscored the broader purpose of the initiative. \u201cScience is at the heart of everything around us \u2013 from computers and medical equipment to space exploration. India\u2019s progress depends on today\u2019s students, who must be well-prepared to take the country to greater heights in science and technology,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n He also highlighted that while the current experiments focus on foundational concepts, future editions may explore advanced themes such as artificial intelligence and machine learning, targeted at older students.<\/p>\n The Science in Action<\/em> exhibition has been held twice a year, typically in September and November, for over a decade. Its mission is to spark interest in STEM education and nurture innovation from a young age. The event\u2019s inclusivity ensures that schools of varied backgrounds get an opportunity to participate.<\/p>\n \u201cOur committee ensures that even schools with limitations are given opportunities,\u201d Dr. Guruprasad noted. \u201cThis way, no child\u2019s potential fades away.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n Srinath Ratnakumar, ISRO Scientist:<\/strong> Dr. V.
