BANGALORE: What could be a better way to foster the spirit of science and inquiry in children than to involve them in a project that takes them to the field and provides them with an insight that no textbook can match? The ThinkQuest programme, formerly known as think.com, provided the perfect platform to carry forward this very intention. With more than 10,000 students from over 240 schools across India participating in the Future Space Scientist contest; these eight girls have a lot to be proud of. The winners were taken on a visit to ISRO and they got an opportunity to interact with scientists. While the group from Kendriya Vidyalaya, Malegaon, did a field study of pollution levels in Guwahati entitled “Fresh and foul”, the Chennai team studied various facets of agriculture as part of its project entitled “Green to Gene”. They interacted with scientists, including M.S. Swaminathan, and also did their bit of field study in villages. They gushed with pride as they described the adventures that they had.
