This is the 9th year that I have been working with students from government schools in Puducherry in a programme called Make Science Competitions or "faites de la science" as the French call it..This is part of an international science project programme for children to carry out innovative science experimental or exhibit based projects on any theme they want to carry out.
The programme is being organized by the Pondicherry Science Forum in collaboration with the University of Paris, South 11, Orsay, Paris, France. This is the latest edition and the 9th year..
Nine years is a considerable period for any project ... It is a very challenging project - taking into account, the limited resources that children studying in government schools have, lack of interested teachers (especially in a government job) to guide the children etc.
This year too, I have a variety of projects to handle mostly from rural Pondicherry - from Sellipet, to Karayamputhur to Bahour, Koravallimedu to even schools in the Pondicherry town and Mudaliarpet.. More regarding the project ideas and the work related to this - later..
Now I am busy in video-documenting these projects into small documentary films with their Tamil voice subtitled to English for the Jury of the University of Paris, ORSAY to understand and evaluate..
So, wait.. I will be back shortly with more details regarding the 2015 Edition of the Make Science Competitions ....!!!..
