The 7th Central Tibetan Administration (CTA) Level Science Exhibition, organized by the Department of Education, CTA, took place at the Sera Jey Science Center from July 26th to 29th. The exhibition was inaugurated by the Honourable Minister of Education, Mrs. Tharlam Dolma Changra, and was honoured by the presence of Geshe Tashi Tsethar, Chief Abbot of Sera Jey Monastery. A total of 35 exhibits from 11 different schools participated in the event, themed “Science and Technology for Society.”
Six exhibits from Tibetan Children’s Village School, Bylakuppe, were selected through a preliminary round from over 80 submissions, including write-ups, proformas, and videos, received by the Department of Education in May from various Tibetan schools in India. The participants of the school included 17 students from the twelfth grade and 3 students from the eleventh grade. They dedicated over a month to developing their projects with guidance and support from mentor teachers and the school administration.
The six projects were: Sustainable House, Blue Drop Energy, Should Ginger Cultivation be Banned? Project Tiffin, Sewage Water Treatment System, and Project Python. Project Tiffin, led by Tenzin Naljor, Karma Lodoe Lama, Tenzin Tsokyi, and Tenzing Yangchen of the twelfth grade, was selected among the 12 best projects to advance to further screening for participation in the national-level Rashtriya Bal Vaigyanik Pradarshani-2024.
The participating students were thrilled to have the opportunity to take part in such a prestigious event. The school administration and the science department expressed their gratitude to the Department of Education, USAID, and the Tibet Fund for organizing and supporting the exhibition. The participants will soon share their experiences with their schoolmates.
