ROBOTICS SESSION DAY 1-25-04-2023

  REPORT on the robotics session conducted on 25/4/23.

 By team 2 : Ibbani A,Janyashree,Harshil B,Jayaditya.

On the first day of the science summer camp, it was informed to us that we were going to have a robotics session the next day . We were very thrilled and excited to attend the session as it was the first time for us. The day arrived and Ah! It was such a good and a memorable experience for all of us. It was Shivaprasad sir who made it super interesting and taught us very good steps to follow for each and everyone present.

Firstly, he started us to teach from the very basics. He thought us about 3d printer, which we hadn’t even heard the name of! But after this session we are a bit of  masters at it! He started teaching the basics of 3d printer i.e., is how it works, how it is designed, what are its functions, applications, disadvantages and so on. To start with, he taught us to design a simple table and our very own dice ,yes! Its the same  dice we play snake and ladder with! That too with very easy steps, It was a very good demonstration and presentation for better understanding. And yes, we all paid maximum attention and followed his words. He told us that we could design whatever we want! How nice, amazing and a very good chance! We all together designed many things- it may be cute keychains, beautiful ornaments , amazing houses, and much more. We had a lot of fun doing this as we could design whatever we like! We would say that it was just a very good and memorable experience for each and everyone of us. It was just truly surprising that we could design and make the product we wished for!

We would like to highlight the fact that by shivaprasad sir’s teachings, anyone it may be a 5 year old or 90 years old person could learn and follow robotics. It was he who introduced to us a very new subject called robotics and made it even more interesting . We conclude that robotics is a very good subject and each and everyone should know the basics of that. It is going to be the new trend in future generations . Who knows robotics may be the only subject that students, children may learn and experience in the future.

It was our immense pleasure to write an article on robotics. This session will always be remembered from the bottom of our hearts.


52nd Summer School in Science - Inauguration on 24-4-2023

After the pandemic, we have resumed the conduction of Bangalore Science Forum Summer school from 2023. It began with admission of a whopping number of 40 students. 5 students joined in the subsequent days.

The 52nd Summer School in Science was inaugurated by Y.K.Jayaramappa, Director BASE and presided by Dr. H.N.Subrahmanya President, NES of Karnataka in the presence of  Shri.Y.G.Madhusudan, Vice President, NES of Karnataka, Shri.V.Venkatashiva Reddy, Hon.Secretary, NES of Karnataka, Shri.B.S. Arun Kumar, Hon.Secretary, NES of Karnataka, Shri.Tallam.R.Dwarakanath, Hon.Treasurer, NES of Karnataka, Shri. Sudhakar Esturi, Chairman, The National College, Basavanagudi,  Dr.Y.C.Kamala, Principal, The National College, Basavanagudi, Prof.Ramesh P.L, College Council Secretary, The NationalCollege, Basavanagudi .

The inauguration was followed by lecture on "World of Electronics" by P.Prabhavathi, Professor in Electronics and Communication, BNMIT, Bangalore. The students were split into groups of 4 and asked to submit report on the activities of the day.  This is the report of Day 1.

TEAM NAME: GROUP 1

TEAM MEMBERS: Amogha H.S - national high school Basavanagudi, Chetna Kiran Kumar - Siddaganga public school, Dhulika K S - Vidyaniketan Public School, Akshay Simha.N.P-The New Cambridge English School

REPORT   

We were privileged to attend the inauguration of the 52nd Bangalore Science forum. The inauguration was facilitated by four honourable guests. The guests came up and encouraged us and shared a lot of knowledge in the field of science. Their thoughts were very inspiring, and gave us a boost to look forward to this great initiative. They also interacted with us and gave us a lot of positivity and motivated us to actively be part and make the program successful.

After this event there was a interesting session by prabhavathi ma’am about VLSI technology, we heard Kamala ma’am saying that prabhavathi ma’am is a wonderful, courageous, hard working woman . She gave an idea about An integrated circuit or monolithic integrated circuit,which  is a set of electronic circuits on one small flat piece of semiconductor material, usually silicon.Large numbers of miniaturised transistors and other electronic components are integrated together on the chip. This results in circuits that are orders of magnitude smaller, faster, and less expensive than those constructed of discrete components, allowing a large transistor count.

At the end, we were given instructions for the camp. First we were told of the timings and all the things that will be done in the camp. Then we were told of all upcoming guests and a few institutions we were visiting in the later days. Then we were told that we should not inform any one of the co-ordinators whenever we take a leave or go in the middle of the camp. It was also said that we should ask more questions to the teachers and write down everything they would say.

Thank you
