While a boat race ended up becoming a super fun way to learn about surface tension, it found a tough competitor in the nearby extremely popular laser harp-an instrument that used laser beams as ‘strings’ instead of traditional strings as in a usual harp (video coming soon!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some ‘cold-play’ with liquid nitrogen, jumping & punching the non-Newtonian cornflour-water slurry (Oobleck!), identifying matching characteristics in a group of elements, and crosswords kept our visitors engaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students got a closer look at fruit flies at the microscopy station. They also looked at protein crystals, marveling at their intricate structures. The visitors also went on a tour of TIFR Hyderabad labs and got a glimpse of the facilities available and ongoing research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
