Science Exhibition

2015

Govt. Postgraduate College of Science,

Samanabad, Faisalabad

Science is all around us. How birds fly, how water evaporates, the way cars can move, all of it can be explained by science. Though centuries of discovery, people have continued to unveil the nature of the world through science. However the beauty of science lies not only in what we have discovered but in what we have yet to find! Humanity is far from reaching the ends of the universe and there are still many mysteries left to solve on earth alone. The common misconception that only adults are scientists has been proved wrong. Everyone can be scientist. There are no limitations on who can discover something miraculous about the world around us. As science students, you

are not only the scientists of tomorrow, you are the scientists of today that’s why science exhibitions/fairs come in, these are some of the best opportunities for young scientists to pursue an interest in science, make discoveries and share them with their peers as well as renowned scientists, professors and professionals.

The main objective of organizing Science exhibition can be summarized as:

Promoting interest in science and technology among young generation.

Encouraging scientific and technological creativity among students and including a sense of pride in their talent.

Providing exploratory experience, encouraging creative thinking and promoting psychomotor skills among graduate and post graduate level students through self-designed models or simple apparatus.

Encouraging problem solving approach and developing appropriate technologies, especially for rural areas and

integrating scientific ideas with daily life situations.

Popularizing science and technology among masses and creating and awareness regarding its impact on socio-economic and sustainable development of the country.
