The SCI Colour Splash event, coordinated by Ms. Poonam Aslia, Assistant Professor, was a Rangoli Competition that encouraged students to explore the connection between science and art. Participants were tasked with creating vibrant rangoli designs that reflected scientific themes, including elements of chemistry, biology, and pharmacy.
Students used colourful powders to create intricate and beautiful patterns, often incorporating scientific symbols such as molecules, atoms, and formulas into their designs. The Rangoli designs served as a visual celebration of science and its various branches, providing a platform for students to showcase their artistic creativity while reflecting their knowledge of scientific concepts. The event fostered teamwork, creativity, and a deeper appreciation for the scientific world.
2. Science Spectacular (Working Model Presentation):
The Science Spectacular event, coordinated by Mr. Nishant Yadav, offered students the opportunity to present working models that demonstrated scientific principles in action. Students were tasked with designing and presenting models that illustrated various concepts of pharmacy, chemistry, and biology.
The working models presented by the students were both innovative and informative, covering a range of topics such as drug delivery systems, chemical reactions, and the human anatomy. The students not only showcased their technical skills but also their ability to communicate complex scientific ideas through hands-on, interactive displays. This event encouraged practical learning and highlighted the importance of innovation in the field of pharmacy science.
3. Detect Adulteration with Rapid Test:
The Detect Adulteration with Rapid Test event, coordinated by Dr. Madhuri Grover, Associate Professor, aimed to raise awareness about the issue of food and drug adulteration, a critical concern in public health. In this event, students used various rapid tests to detect adulterants in food and pharmaceutical products.
The participants demonstrated their ability to perform tests for common adulterants, such as contaminants in food items like milk, spices, and oils, as well as impurities in pharmaceutical products. This hands-on activity was an excellent learning experience for students, emphasizing the role of pharmacists in ensuring the safety and quality of products in the marketplace. It also highlighted the importance of vigilance and quality control in the pharmaceutical and food industries.
4. Power of Words (How Science is Revolutionizing):
The Power of Words event, coordinated by Ms. Preeti Singh, Assistant Prof. was an interactive session in which students discussed how science is revolutionizing the world, especially in the field of healthcare and pharmacy. The participants were asked to present their views on how scientific advancements are shaping society and transforming various industries.
Students shared their insights on breakthrough innovations in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and healthcare, emphasizing the importance of science in addressing global challenges.
