“Even though you know a million things, there’s still a long way to go”.

The above saying was justified in the yearly Science Quiz event, termed as Eureka held on, Saturday, 16th January. Eureka aims to inculcate in the minds of young students, a spirit of scientific enquiry, analytical thinking and provides a platform to the budding scientists to exchange thoughts.

The event witnessed enthusiastic preparation & participation. Four finalists from each section of a grade were chosen as finalists for the event, after they cleared the Eureka Prelims which was open to all the children.

The children were brimming with zeal and confidence for the event. Apart from the usual rounds of direct questions, Audio-Video etc., teachers had some new and interesting rounds up their sleeve. Dingbats, Carpe-Dictum, Virtual tour, 50 -50, Double -Trouble, were some of them which not only helped to bring about team spirit it also turned the table for the leading team in some of the grades. Each team exuberated confidence as they answered the questions posed to them. The varied types of questions asked triggered the curious minds and made it a fun and learning experience for all. It saw excitement and disappointment, taught children to learn to adhere to rules and the most important thing – they learnt the meaning of team spirit and teambuilding and to accept both victory and defeat!

It made them realise that-

Knowledge is the only kind of wealth that multiplies when you give it away!
