 I’m really excited about the foldscope experiment. It was so amazing. I got a new experience and it intrigues me more to learn about physics. I enjoyer the whole session.

 Foldscope knowledge stall was put at V Bazaar, D. G Vaishnav college, Arumbakkam on 22nd and 23rd February 2019 with the aim to popularise the usage of foldscope among interested students and general public.

  Learning in local language is easier and makes the learner independent. Foldscope being a frugal innovation it needs to be taken to the mass. Language should not be a barrier for the user. Especially for the young minds, understanding in their own language makes them explore and think beyond. Our Foldscope team lead by Dr.Uthra Dorairajan translated the entire Foldscope instruction into Tamil. In this attempt, the language is child friendly. While the layout, font size, style of the original English version is strictly adhered. This Tamil version was released by 50 students of class 9 from Koyambedu Chennai corporation school on during a workshop on 23, Jan, 2018. And this was received by our own Foldscope team. Thanks to Manu, Homony Laks and DBT for making this happen.

 Train the trainers workshops were conducted this year after the I years got inducted and settled in their classes. Ten Students from I B.Sc.Physics and    I B.Sc. Maths attended these training 27, August and 5, Sep after College hours. These students mainly took samples of pollen and parts of flowers from our campus and water samples from puddles around.
