Mownika We had organized a training entitled “ One Day foldscope training Programme ” to the students of Government Boys Higher Secondary School, Manickampalayam, Erode District, Tamil Nadu on 16 th October 2018 . The school was established in the year 1983 and it is located in a rural area. The main concept of training was promoting foldscope awareness to the students to understand physics, chemistry, biology and instrumentation and to excite them in the subjects. We have introduced this foldscope tool to the Grade of 9 th standard students. It has been a motivating and challenging experience for me. Ms. S.
