National Children’s Science Congress
National Children’s Science Congress encourages students to learn science by doing. Schools following the Indian syllabus in Oman can send a maximum of four teams/projects, with two teams each from Junior and Senior categories.
Junior Category: 10 years to less than 14 years
Senior Category: 14 years to less than 17 years
- Teams can have up to two children guided by school teachers or science coordinators.
- Evaluation considers originality, relevance, scientific understanding, data collection, experimentation, analysis, teamwork and presentation.
- Selected projects are considered for participation in the National Children’s Science Congress in India.
Important Notes for NCSC Projects
- Project Guides and Science Coordinators are encouraged to help children choose topics with enough scope for simple experiments and surveys.
- Conclusions should be supported by data and observations, ideally from both experiments and surveys.
- Team selection is done exclusively through schools.
Workshops & Seminars
- Workshop for Students and Teachers
- Teacher training programs to help educators stay future-ready with updated content knowledge and modern teaching techniques.
