Sahyadri Science Talent Hunt

The Government of India has felt the need to initiate and encourage student interest in Science & Technology. IITs and IISc began organizing Science Conclaves every year to create awareness and interest among the students. However, organizing such a challenging event is a strenuous affair due to a high magnitude of institutions in the state. Therefore, Sahyadri College of Engineering & Management feels that it is its responsibility to take this up as an initiative and has started Sahyadri Science Talent Hunt - SSTH.

Sahyadri Science Talent Hunt is an annual gathering in which eminent national and international scientists provide a platform for free interaction to young students and teachers in order to showcase the excitement of scientific works and investigations which will in turn motivate them to take up the study of science as their career.

This is a platform for students to exhibit their skills and knowledge in the form of science projects. It serves as a channel to interact, network and connect with other brilliant minds in the community as well as some of the well known research scientists of the nation.

The main objective of this program is to provide a platform for exhibiting new ideas and the creative work of young talent of PU/+2 colleges, creating curiosity towards science and latest technologies along with exchange of views and ideas with their peer group. Click here to know more

Objectives

To inspire, motivate and give thrust to Scientific and Technological Education, Research and Development.

To bring together scientists, technocrats and students in a relaxed and informal atmosphere and encourage meaningful dialogue amongst themselves.

To organize personal encounters with eminent scientists of different generations and cultures.

Creating awareness in Research and Development.

Highlights

Inspiring participation of more than 15,000 students every year.

Creating a platform for young scientific community to communicate, interact, network in their quest for scientific knowledge with best scientific minds of the nation.

Exhibiting 400+ innovative projects with potential to scale up as products.

Free mentoring through engineers, serving as a medium for networking.

Projects & Nomination of Students for Project Funding

The program “Sahyadri Science Talent Hunt-2017” to be held on 11th November 2017, provides a platform to exhibit talents of budding young scientists, a panel for discussion on various topics of science, lectures presented by the scientists, question and answer sessions relating to basic science and applicationoriented themes. This program contributes to the generation of new ideas, encourages personal contacts, inspires scientific activities and enables the critical examination of scientific questions from a different perspective. A style of free environment for learning is adopted, whereby both formal and informal interactions take place to create interests, counsel and direction towards science education to young minds. The interaction sessions also involve laboratory work and scientific project demonstrations.

The program is basically conducted for PU+1/+2 students of with a total of 30 zonal centres covering more than 70 Colleges The institutions with relatively moderate student strength will be clustered under a single zone. The SSTH funds projects in order to encourage and motivate the young minds. Zonal level 7 project will be selected .

The selected participants of the zonal center will be eligible to participate in the final round of Sahyadri Science Talent Hunt 2017 program to be held on 11th November 2017 at Sahyadri Campus, Mangaluru.

Project/Working Model Exhibition: This event is for exhibiting and demonstrating working projects in any field of Science and Technology. The evaluation will be based on the innovativeness, feasibility and costeffectiveness, presentation skills and applications of the project.

Still Model Exhibition: This event is for demonstrating project ideas through models or prototype. The models may be physical or mathematical. The prototypes may be prepared using paper/plastic/thermocol/glass, etc. for demonstration. The evaluation will be based on innovativeness, feasibility, presentation skills and applications of the project.

Innovative projects or inventions shall be guided to take out a patent by DTLabz.
