MUMBAI: To further its community initiatives, IBM India has launched the first of the IBM TryScience kiosks at The Nehru Planetarium with the Bangalore Association for Science Education. According to the company release, this IBM TryScience kiosk solution reinvents science learning, recreates the interactive experience of onsite visits, and provides science projects as well as multimedia adventure field trips for museum visitors - primarily children, their parents and teachers.
The IBM TryScience kiosk solution, based on the www.TryScience.org web site is a global online science and technology center. It provides an educational hands-on interface, with clear, consistent navigation and interactive educational science activities. The five interactive science topics to explore include experiments, field trips, curious, live cams and adventures.
Inaugurating the IBM TryScience kiosk at Nehru Planetarium, prominent scientist and former ISRO chairman Prof. UR Rao, said, "all children are natural born scientists. TryScience enables young people to explore science on their own and satisfy their innate curiosity. By setting up its first TryScience kiosk in India, IBM has helped to create an interactive science portal to impart science education in an innovative and entertaining way.
" IBM India MD, Abraham Thomas said, "through IBM’s association with The Bangalore Association for Science Education, we strengthen our community initiative with a focus on education and children, leveraging our expertise in technology. IBM’s TryScience.org brings science to the masses and breaks the physical and intellectual barriers that keep students from experiencing new and different challenges.
Through IBM TryScience.org, any child in Bangalore can have access to the wonders of science. This is a part of IBM’s efforts to create solutions to bridge the existing digital divide in India."
