SCIENCE CLUB, DNGC, ORGANISES ‘SCIENCE EDUCATIONAL WALK’ AT SCIENCE CENTRE, ITANAGAR

Date: 07.11.2026

The Science Club of Dera Natung Government College (DNGC), Itanagar, organised a Science Educational Walk under the theme “Exploring Science Beyond the Classroom” at the Science Centre, Itanagar, on Saturday, 7 November 2026. The initiative was undertaken as part of the Club’s efforts to promote academic exposure, scientific awareness, and experiential learning among students.

A total of 50 (fifty) students from six departments of the college, namely Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Botany, Zoology, and Anthropology (Human Science), actively participated in the programme. 

The team was accompanied by two faculty escorts: Mr. Botem Moyong, Assistant Professor of Mathematics and Convenor of the Science Club, and Dr. Lham Tashi, Assistant Professor of Mathematics and Co-Convenor of the Science Club.

The programme featured a series of educational and interactive activities, including:

1. Visits to the Science Galleries/Museum and Dino Park.

2. A digital learning session on basic space education at the Planetarium/Space Education Centre.

3. A two-hour hands-on training programme at the Innovation Hub.

4. An interactive session and technical interaction with Dr. Vivek Kumar, Curator, Science Centre.

5. A report-writing competition among the participating students.

One of the major highlights of the programme was the two-hour hands-on training session at the Innovation Hub, where students gained practical exposure to various scientific concepts, techniques, and innovative technologies. Under the guidance of the Hub's experts and mentors, the participants explored some chemical reactions, microscopic examination of plant structures, pollen grains, cell walls and cell membranes, and various innovative models and devices. They were also introduced to 3D printing technology, electrical devices, and other scientific innovations, providing them with valuable opportunities to connect theoretical knowledge with practical applications.

The students subsequently attended a digital learning session at the Planetarium/Space Education Centre, where they explored fascinating aspects of space science, including space exploration, planets, constellations, satellites, stars, and galaxies. The digitally presented visual content on the large 3D screen offered an engaging and informative learning experience.

The participants also visited the Science Galleries/Museum and Dino Park, where they explored various scientific exhibits and models, gaining insights into the scientific principles, concepts, and logical reasoning underlying their functioning and design.

The programme concluded with a Report-Writing Competition among the participants. As part of this activity, students documented their observations, learning experiences, and key takeaways from the educational visit and submitted their reports to the Convenor of the Science Club, Mr. Botem Moyong (Assistant Professor of Mathematics). The five best writers will be recognised and awarded prizes along with certificates in an upcoming programme of the Science Club.

The Science Club, DNGC, expressed its sincere gratitude to the principal of the college, Dr. Kumar Tok, for his constant guidance, encouragement, and support towards the activities of the Club. The Club also extended its heartfelt appreciation to Dr. Gyati Tachang Tado, Assistant Professor of Physics and former Convenor of the Science Club, for his continued motivation, valuable advice, and encouragement to both the Club and its student members.

The Science Educational Walk proved to be a meaningful academic exposure initiative, offering students an opportunity to explore scientific knowledge beyond conventional classroom settings through observation, interaction, practical engagement, and experiential learning.
