In this course students fresh from art colleges work together with general computer users as well as computer professionals. The first course ends around mid-June. Across the World UK, we are exploring a new way of teaching science as an alternative to the traditional classroom experience. Students working on this programme network with their counterparts in other parts of the world. Issues and attitudes are explored through direct observation and collection of data.
Science is perceived as an exciting and socially relevant subject.
Along with the Nehru Planetarium, we are participating in the British Council's International Schools' Observatory Project . Students working on this project will submit a proposal in Astronomy and work in partnership with an overseas group. These young scientists attend lectures and seminars, visit university laboratories, resarch departments and industries to see the ways in which science is applied in every day work. Two free places are being offered exclusively to Indian students aged between 17 and 22 years. Applications can be sent to any of the British Council offices in India by the 15 June 2001.
