SCIENCE EXHIBITION 'QUEST 2008'
'Men love to wonder and that is the seed of Science' - Ralph Waldo Emerson.
'Go down deep into anything and you will find Mathematics,' - Dean Schlicter.
Science and Mathematics go hand in hand. Hence the Science, Computer Science and Maths departments came together and worked on more than 155 projects in various categories from classes V to XII. All the projects were made by students in the school itself. The school reception was decorated beautifully and it motivated the onlookers to think about the two current topics 'Global Warming' and 'Possibility of life on the planets'. The various venues of the exhibition highlighted different themes like Space, The Food Pyramid, Melting of Polar Ice, Green House, Tangrams, Trigonometry and Maths in Monuments.

Prior to the main event many preliminary activities were held. The students and teachers were all charged up for the grand 'Maths and Science Exhibition'.
