Two days at IIT Delhi

On 28 and 29 January 2023, thirteen children studying through Indradhanush — seven of them girls — travelled to IIT Delhi for a science extension workshop organised by INYAS, the Indian National Young Academy of Science. Shri Vinay led the group for the Foundation.

Over two days the children listened to lectures, performed experiments of their own and toured several of the institute's laboratories. They heard about the progress of science and the careers it offers, and how much science is hidden in the small tasks of everyday life. The speakers told them, from their own experience, that big dreams can be dreamt and hard work can make them come true. For children whose parents grew up in roadside tents, it was a new way of looking at their own lives.
