Lourdes Central School organized LCS Science Week-2020 to awaken the scientific temper among the young generation and encourage them to discover new knowledge through scientific methods.
The objectives of this programme were:
- To inspire young minds to think divergently.
- To motivate younger generation to take up the career in science, technology and engineering.
It was a beautiful venture from the part of LCS to organise this memorable event under the guidance of Principal FrRobert D’Souza, Vice Principal MsBelitaMascarenhas and MsLinetD Souza the Coordinator for Science and all the Science teachers. We are indeed grateful to them.
The whole week programmes were meticulously planned and it provided a platform to the students to exhibit their talents, to have an inquisitive mind, to find solution for every question and to widen the knowledge on science.
The science week was inaugurated by Fr Principal on 17.11.2020 with a beautiful experiment and in his key note address he motivated the students to inculcate the thirst for science and to participate enthusiastically in all activities.
