Ingenium, organized a visit to Visvesvaraya museum on 5th January 2019. The event was a success as around 40 enthusiastic students attended. The exhibits in the museum were very interesting and insightful. The exhibits were interactive and portrayed very complex concepts of science easily. Each of the exhibits had different concepts and theories. They also exhibited many illusions which seem impossible, but when the science behind the illusion is revealed they seem very simple. They can easily invoke a child as well as a scientist and a thinker in the student. Mr. Rajeevalochana explained each mechanism and the theory behind it practically. He also explained the working of all the engines and students could practically see the working of all the engines and mechanisms. There were exhibits corresponding to different branches of science like Bio-technology, Space, Electronics and communication and many more which explained the concepts behind very complex engineering marvels which make the life of a man easy. The students got to know the basic working of the early inventions of mankind which paved the way for the current modern world, but the principle remains the same.
