On the occasion of Earth Day, which is celebrated on April 22, Nehru Science Centre in Mumbai added 3 more exhibits to already impressive lineup of exhibits in the Science Park. These exhibits are A Giant Lever, a Giant from the backyard – a larger than life Mantis Model, and a Perspective House – a specially designed house confusing to eyes.
Dr. A. P. Jayaraman, former Nuclear Scientist and President, National Centre for Science Communicators unveiled these models.
Dr. Jayaraman appreciated the efforts of NSCM and told that these exhibits are engineering marvel. He connected the exhibits with real life situations and told students to keep balance around the fulcrum they need to choose for life. They must choose the right fulcrum always. The perspective house is a feat of art and science fusion. He also described the beauty and characteristics of praying mantis a great bio machine in nature which is a great teacher for us.
