We started our field trip for science exhibition on 2nd Dec 09’ in the morning at 10:00.As soon as we reached there, we got the opportunity to attend a lecture by Dr. Vijay Bhatkar and Dr. Vasu. After the lecture we went to see different models that were there in the exhibition. One of them was named NREGA. The purpose of this model was to explain the process in which government provides job opportunities to uneducated farmers. Then we saw mind-blowing robots- one, which worked on Solar Energy, another had sensors and one was The Mechanical Moon Walker; equipped with antennas. It was all so new and exciting for us.
We also went to Taramandal. It was very nice. We learnt to recognize different constellation of stars.
After that it was time for which we waited eagerly. It was the time to interact with Dr. Bhatkar at Dainik Bhaskar Press Complex. Dr. Bhatkar is the first Indian to invent a Super Computer –‘Param’. He leads a team of engineers at CDAC. We all were bubbling with questions, like- why did he name his super computer ‘Param’? What was he like when he was a child? and so on. He answered to all our queries very patiently.
At the end he asked, “ What is it that a Computer can’t do?” To which one of our friends Amrita answered that “It cannot be a Human”. This answer of hers' made Dr. Bhatkar very happy.
It was a lifetime experience for all of us to interact with Dr. Bhatkar.
