Former IIT professor emphasizes on experimental education

The best way to teach physics and inspire students was to showcase and spark interest in young minds, says TS Natarajan, a retired professor from IIT Madras.

In his address to the teachers and students of Atal Tinkering Lab (ATL) at a session titled ‘The Importance of Effectively Learning Science and Technology through Simple Experiments’ at Maddi Subbarao English Medium High School in Vijayawada on Saturday 16 November, Prof. Natarajan said presented DIY (Do-it-Yourself) electronics and physics kits designed by him to the participating teachers and demonstrated the kits to inspire teachers to adopt interactive teaching methods.

The programme, organized by the school management in association with the Indian Association of Physics Teachers (IAPT), Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and AP Chapters and The STEM Makers, attracted enthusiastic response from both teachers and students.
