There is a need to take teaching beyond the class rooms to bring about attitudinal changes among students. Hence the department of chemistry organizes an outreach program “Catch them young”.
77 final year PCM and BZC students were divided into 10 groups and were asked to visit some remote schools in and around Mangalore as a part of extension activity. This activity ‘Catch them Young’ gave an opportunity to our students to demonstrate the experiments to school students. Through this activity, students not only enrich their knowledge but also encourage the high school students to develop interest in basic science studies. Students also develop the laboratory skills which make them employable. The main intention of this activity is to reach science to remote schools which lack the basic facility like science lab and create curiosity and interest in science among high school students and to motivate them in basic science studies.
Students of our college demonstrated 10 interesting and colorful experiments which left an imprint on their minds.
Schools visited:
- Govt. High School , Mullakadu
- Govt. High School, Chelairu.
- Besant Kannada Medium School, Kodialbail.
