45th Jawaharlal Nehru National Science, Mathematics And Environment Exhibition For Children (JNNSMEE) - 2018
NCERT organizes JNNSMEE for the children every year for popularizing science, mathematics and environmental education amongst children, teachers and the public in general. The best part about the exhibition for the participants was that they get the chance to show, explain and talk about their projects to others. Moreover, it’s rewarding for fellow students, parents, teachers and community members to have an opportunity to see and to appreciate because science exhibition offers judging, students are motivated to strive for excellence and understand what works well in their projects and they can improve.
This is 45th JNNSMEE exhibition and it took place at Sardar Patel Stadium, Ahmedabad, Gujarat dated from 23rd - 27th November 2018. The five days exhibition was followed by an excursion day where all the participants were taken to visit the Statue of Unity.
Besides the exhibition, they have arranged some very inspiring and motivating lecture by prominent guest speakers on some of the morning sessions. For instance, Prof. Anil Gupta from IIM spoke on the subject "Innovation and Creativity" and Shri. Kartikey V. Sarabhai, Head Center for Environment Education, Ahmedabad talked about the crucial topic "Environment Security".
Concluding my report here, I am very thankful to CTA as well as our school administration for giving me the opportunity to participate in the 45th JNNSMEE as an escort teacher. Being myself a science teacher, it had definitely been very experiential and informative on a personal level. It also had broadened my understanding of science, mathematics and environment on an another level.
