State Level Science, Mathematics & Environment Exhibition For Children (2016–17)

GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF EXHIBITS AND MODELS

All children are naturally motivated to learn and are capable of learning. The knowledge acquired by them is the outcome of their own activity. Children learn through interaction with people and environment around. They construct knowledge by connecting new ideas to their existing ideas.

In order to stimulate creativity, inventiveness and the attitude for innovation in science and mathematics, National Curriculum Framework (NCF-2005) emphasizes on activities, experiments, technological modules, etc. It also encourages implementation of various activities through a massive expansion of channels such as organisation of science, mathematics and environment exhibition at the national level for school students, with feeder exhibitions at school/ block/tehsil/district/region/state levels.

The theme for SLSMEE-2016-17 and JNNSMEE-2017

The theme for SLSMEE-2016-17 and JNNSMEE-2017, "Science, Technology and Mathematics for Nation Building" aims to cover subthemes such as-

1. Health;
2. Industry;
3. Transport and Communication;
4. Innovations in renewable resources for sustainable environment;
5. Innovations in food production and food security;
6. Mathematical solutions in everyday life

(Sub-themes listed above are suggestive. Students are free to choose any other sub-themes and develop exhibits involving Science, Technology and Mathematics for Nation Building)

GUIDELINES FOR ORGANISING ONE-DAY SEMINAR

The selection procedure adopted should lay more emphasis on the quality of the exhibits rather than quantity. It should be ensured that the exhibits are not crude and hazardous and have good fi nish and are presentable.

3. The above mentioned Screening Committee or a separate panel of judges should evaluate the exhibits according to the criteria of evaluation as mentioned for SLSMEE. Best three exhibits in each sub-theme should be selected; preferably developed by secondary and higher secondary students; by the said panel of judges.

(News) CBSE's YouTube channel 'CBSE Udaan' is getting popularity

CBSE's YouTube channel 'CBSE Udaan' is gaining popularity with viewership for both recorded videos and live webcasts. Udaan is a central government project that aims to address the low enrolment ratio of girl students in IITs and other premier engineering colleges. The webcast provides coaching in related subjects to its target audience, basically girls from Std XI and XII.

The webcasts are a way to enrich the teaching and learning of science and mathematics at school level by addressing the three dimensions of education — curriculum design, transaction and assessments.

The initiative provides a platform that empowers the girl students, facilitates their aspiration of joining prestigious engineering institutions, and take important role in development/ progress of the country in future. Under this programme, students are provided free offline and online resources through virtual weekend contact classes and study material on pre-loaded tablet while studying in Std XI—XII for preparation of admission tests to various premier engineering colleges in the country. The Udaan scheme is open to all female Indian citizens who are enrolled in Std XI in physics, chemistry and mathematics stream. They should have scored minimum 70% marks in Std X overall and 80% marks in science and mathematics. For boards which follow CGPA, like CBSE, this translates into a minimum CGPA of 8 and a GPA of 9 in Science and Mathematics. The government has also put in a financial criteria saying that the annual family income should be less than Rs6 lakhs per annum.
