An enthusiastic team (comprising of 76 students and 6 science teachers of TCV Selakui), led by their principal Mr. Duke Tsering started the exhibition tour on 17 September covering a total of 6 Tibetan schools ( namely CST Mussoorie, THF Mussoorie, CST Herbertpur, THF Rajpur, STS Paonta Sahib and TNMF Clementown)in 2 weeks around the Dehradun region.
3 months of rigorous preparation by the team for the exhibition, resulted in some very interesting exhibits ; to name a few - the water cycle dance, impersonation of great scientists, skit show on 'scientific method', release of hot air balloons, science magic show, 25 exciting science models prepared by these students were a big hit.
The tour would end with a grand program being organized at the TCV Selakui school premises on October 26, which is also the school's annual "Science Day".
The program, funded by USAID through the Tibet Fund, would organize similar events in Karnataka state cluster schools the next year.
