A lively drama-cum-science demo that brings optics and telescopes to life, featuring Galileo on stage. Through engaging demonstrations with colours, lasers, and light, participants experience key ideas of astronomy in an immersive, low-light setting.

This beginners guide to satellite workshop offers participants an opportunity to learn, build and interact with real satellite technologies. Participants will get a STEM kit of a cubeSat to assemble and operate to conduct their experiments.

The workshop explores the potential of Artificial Intelligence, particularly Generative AI and Large Language Models, in amplifying science communication in India. The objective is to provide participants with an overview of how AI can streamline and enhance science storytelling, moving from complex research papers to captivating narratives and multimedia content.

The 45-minute workshop, is a formal session led by a synthetic biologist and a science journalist, designed to equip media professionals with the tools to cover "deep tech"—advanced, disruptive technologies rooted in scientific breakthroughs like synthetic biology and quantum computing—with both responsibility and wonder.
The core objective is to move journalists beyond surface-level hype by providing a practical framework for translating complex research into credible, context-rich stories, enabling audiences to make informed judgments.

The workshop offers four interactive stations that bring climate action to life. Participants learn how moss supports carbon storage, create biodegradable kokedamas to take home, and witness real-time CO₂ reduction through live sensor demonstrations. A multilingual Climate Pledge Wall helps visitors assess their carbon footprint and commit to actionable steps. Engaging visuals, live data, and hands-on activities ensure an impactful and memorable experience.

The Nukkad Theory workshop is designed to equip scientists with engaging communication tools, drawing inspiration from the open, lively exchanges that happen at a "nukkad" (street corner or tea stall) in India.
This workshop is rooted in street theatre and performance, providing a structured communication pipeline for scientists. It trains participants in narrative thinking, real-time adaptability, and embodied delivery to communicate science with precision and impact.

The overall objective of the workshop is to introduce fundamental scientific concepts through highly engaging and fun experiments and demonstrations.

This workshop aims to introduce participants to the principles of visual storytelling for science. Through live demonstrations, participants will learn how to convert scientific concepts into clear, impactful illustrations and narratives that resonate with both academic and non-academic audiences.

3D bioprinting is a cutting-edge technology that combines principles of tissue engineering ,biomaterials science, and additive manufacturing to create three-dimensional, living biological structures. Unlike conventional 3D printing, which uses plastics or metals, bioprinting employs bio inks to build structures resembling natural tissues. The Centre for Predictive Human Model Systems is a science & policy program that aims to advance the awareness and exposure to 21st century human-centric approaches in biomedical research, such as 3D tissues, organoids, microfluidic chips, and predictive models of human diseases for drug discovery.
