Programes

Our institution is dedicated to programmes related to education and social welfare as well as awareness. we are doing many activities regarding the above mentioned subject. We would like to undertake more of such activities and many more new ones. Here is an overview of our activities for your kind consideration. Shree Brahmanandji District Community Science Center- Junagadh will undertake various activities regarding subjects like science, mathematics, environmental studies, health and nutrition, energy and our resources, studies related to geography and space as well as programs for the prevention of superstitions and addiction.

Environmental study

The centre will also carry out many programs related to environmental study and environment care. Such programs will include lectures and seminars organized for the awareness of environment, Biodivercity and delivering guidelines to take care of environment and trees as well as informative programs for the nature of flora and fauna.

Energy

At community science centre we try to give information regarding natural resources of energy as well as try to make people understand its importance as well as the role it plays to facilitate our life. Thus, we also teach them the ways of saving energy and make use of our resources wisely and delimiting its use.

Programs for Teachers

Success of the educational process depends on the quality, commitment and expertise of the teachers. This dependence is further enhanced due to the growing as well as changing needs of the children and the frequent changes in curriculum and teaching methodology. Therefore, the training of teachers themselves becomes critical. For popularization of Science and Technology teachers are good medium. They can prepare students for the non co-curriculum activities we organize such programs for teachers.

* Teachers Training programs
* Seminar for Teachers
* Guidance for Science fair and science exhibitions
* Workshops for teachers
* Trainings on different events
* Programs for Adults.

Science

Apart from many programs that are conducted right now we would like to organize and carry out various newer scientific experiments and practices, so as to endow students with up to date knowledge as well as facilitate their study. We also organize many Science Seminars, Science Quiz, Science Dramas, Science Study Tours, Energy Tours, Krushi Sibir And Etc..

Popular Lectures

The popular science lecture aims to bring awareness among the young students, parents, teachers and the media persons about the fascinating world of basic sciences and its promising future. The program deals with topics on frontier areas of science and technology for the spreading of knowledge and awareness among the students as well as the public at large.

Programmes for Community

In the year 2003-04, a group was ready to work at Gujarat on development of scientific temper and a beginning was made to remove belief in miracle and Superstition etc. known as “Andhashradha” In this one has to come in confontration with sadhus, Tantriks etc. etc. To avoid this, it was thought desirable to spread knowledge of science to explain various tacties adopted by propagonist of Andhashradha. Apart from this, it was observed that Science and Technology was entering everyday life and would spread in 21st Century and for this, interest in science subjects for students of this generation was necessary as the same was decreasing and schools were finding dearth of students in science streams. Science was taught in the classroom on black board and on the basis of the syllabus and students found the same difficult and dull. This was not true as Science is interesting and is in daily life.

Rural programs

We conduct rural programs in many fields. Programs for removal of superstitions in rural area are our prime thrust area. We conduct experiments that are similar to magic tricks & reveal science behind it. We also build capabilities in village people and students to do same experiments and to remove doubts and fake superstitions.

There are many wrong concepts regarding eclipse, snakes, diseases, ideas about hygiene etc. So we help people to get correct information about these misunderstood concepts.

Weprovide guidance to develop school science club & groups to do scientific awareness programs at village level. Special programs are designed to suit the need of rural area like garbage management, safety in kitchen and agriculture etc.

GUJCOST annually assists financially and otherwise in the development and working of the center.

Event celebration

India is a country of festivals. Two dozens of days are celebrated for creating science awareness in people like Ozone day, World environment day and National Science day. Some days are celebrated in respect of great scientists.

Awareness

Removing the superstition from the rural India and making them aware about the environmental, energy, health issues in happenings by the lectures, seminars and public rally.

For the prevention of Superstitions and Addiction
We are trying and in future will try our best to enlighten people through endowing them with the knowledge of science and thus removing superstitions automatically. For this purpose we will arrange many programmes which include practical demonstrative method to solve the doubts of people in the rural as well as urban areas. We have and always will denounce all kinds of addiction and in order to remove it from our society, we are planning lectures and seminars by calling medical experts to make them aware of the adverse effects of tobacco, liquor, cigarette, etc on their health.

Health

Workshops

Workshops conducted at csc are hands on training for students. Wherein they can prepare scientific models, understand principles, applications etc. These creative and participatory learning ignites curiosity to do experiments and understand a phenomenon. Generally they are o f extra curricular as well as curricular nature which would serve as a support education to them. We also design special teachers training where in teachers from urban , rural or tribal area are given special extra support curricular practical training, adding to their capabilities, designing & preparing teaching aid materials and problem solving. Upgrading the teaching methodologies of Science through the model making workshops, know your water, energy awareness & Nano technology workshops.

Space Study and Sky Shows

As knowledge regarding our universe and space is deteriorating day by day specially in rural areas, we are very much concerned to provide qualitative and latest knowledge with the use of equipments we possess. We have material resources like telescope, LCD projector, overhead projector and so on. We will fully utilize them to organize demonstrative programmes in rural as well as urban areas.

Rocketry Workshop

These workshops aim to train students in the designing of model rockets. Students deals with the principal of rocket and make different designs to get maximum hight. Students knows process of fabrication and working of the rockets and their engines. Students make their models/designs in group or individually and launch. They measures the hight of the rocket using trigonometry and the highest hight gainer gets awarded.
