The National Council of Science Museums in India will host one of India's top science and technology exhibitions at the Divali Nagar site in Trinidad from 21 May to 20 July 2012.
The exhibition is titled: "India: A Culture of Science".
The exhibition is titled: "India: A Culture of Science".
It's part of NIHERST's program of activities to foster a national culture of science and technology, in supporting the development of a more diversified, knowledge-driven economy in Trinidad and Tobago.
The exhibition covers 7000 years of India's history and the diverse contribution that country has made to global scientific understanding and technological progress.
Through 3D interactives, models, graphic displays, artifacts, multimedia games and videos, visitors will discover India's impressive achievements in science from antiquity to the modern era, and see how its scientific ethos has promoted the rapid technological advancement that has helped India to emerge as an important global economic power.
With approximately 150 exhibits, as well as daily science demonstrations and shows and cultural performances, there will be education and entertainment for all visitors to learn and to enjoy.
The displays will include ancient India's contribution to mathematics; astronomy; chemistry; physics; mining and metallurgy; medicine and surgery including plastic surgery and ayurvedo; textiles; art and architecture featuring some of India's most outstanding monuments; and shipping, navigation and water-lifting devices.
It will also display traditional crafts featuring some of India's finest, world-renowned craft technologies such as bidriware, silver filigree work, lost wax casting, and marble inlay, which have endured for centuries, handed down from generation to generation.
Master craftsmen will provide on-site demonstrations of the specialised skills required in these traditional crafts.
A modern science section will showcase India's advances at the frontiers of science, including the areas of agriculture, biotechnology, chemistry, space technology, oceanography, geological science, and information and computer technology.
There will also be 25 interactive exhibits illustrating principles in mathematics, physics and chemistry. They include the concepts of gravity, light, density, magnetism, current, energy , and viscosity.
The exhibition will also feature science demonstrations by NIHERST and NCSM educators with performances on science topics by local artistes, public lectures and cultural performances.
