September 2025 was another month of discovery and excitement for the STEM team at Svarnim Puducherry, as hands-on science learning reached classrooms across several government schools in the Union Territory. A total of over 20 interactive STEM sessions were conducted across subjects like Physics, Chemistry, and Biology, engaging hundreds of students from classes VI to X in practical, concept-based exploration.
This month’s sessions were designed to bridge the gap between theory and practice — helping students understand how the concepts they learn in textbooks are deeply connected to the world around them.
In Physics, sessions on Light: Shadows and Reflections, Mirrors and Lenses, and Exploring Magnets helped students experiment with light rays, reflection angles, and magnetism through real demonstrations. These activities allowed them to visualize abstract ideas, strengthening both comprehension and curiosity.
In Biology, topics like Life Processes in Animals, Microorganisms – Friend and Foe, and Health is the Ultimate Treasureencouraged students to explore the interdependence between living organisms, nutrition, and personal health. The session on A Mindful Eating: A Way to a Healthy Body made learning more relatable by linking scientific understanding of food and digestion with everyday dietary choices — inspiring students to adopt healthier lifestyles.
Meanwhile, Chemistry sessions on Materials Around Us introduced students to the fascinating world of everyday substances — exploring their physical and chemical properties through hands-on observation and group discussions.
A major highlight of the month was the Science Workshop at Soucilabai GHSS, Puducherry, where students took part in integrated experiments and activities across Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. This workshop aimed to showcase how science functions as an interconnected system, encouraging interdisciplinary learning, creativity, and teamwork.
Each session was conducted with interactive teaching aids, demonstrations, and open discussions to make learning experiential and engaging. The enthusiasm and curiosity of the students reflected the growing impact of the STEM initiative — one that promotes critical thinking, collaboration, and scientific temper at the grassroots level.
Through these ongoing efforts, Svarnim Puducherry’s STEM Education Program continues to empower young learners to think, question, and innovate — shaping a generation that not only understands science but also applies it meaningfully in their daily lives.
