MYSORE, DEC. 7. The Regional Institute of Education (RIE) here of the National Council of Educational Research and Training has established a Science Park on its campus in a bid to popularise science subjects among students. The Science Park, spread over 3,600 square metres on the southern side of the RIE campus, has been developed as an extension of its existing exploratory laboratory. N.N. Prahallada, Reader in Education and Editor of the RIE Newsletter, said that the objective of establishing the park was to provide children and science teachers an opportunity to work with gadgets and learn science in an informal manner. "We hope that the gadgets facilitate nurturing of scientific knowledge through play techniques," he said.
