Sign up for these fun science sessions for children at this SoBo venue to celebrate the ongoing Chemistry Week

Children attend a science workshop at the Nehru Science Centre
Marking the start of Chemistry Week (from November 5 to 11), Nehru Science Centre has planned a slew of sessions for those curious about the stream of science. From quizzes, demonstrations, DIY sessions and lectures held online and at the centre’s campus, the events will go on till November 11.
The week also marks another important occasion for the institution, as the Nehru Science Centre in Mumbai celebrates its 38th anniversary on November 11. The centre opened its doors to the public in 1985. “We are excited about both the events and the anniversary. Chemistry is an important field when it comes to science. If you listen to great chemists, they always said chemistry is a science of matter, and that it’s also a science that matters. So, we are focussing on how the subject has grown over several years and has facilitated many new branches,” shares Umesh Kumar Rustagi, director of Nehru Science Centre. He adds that the centre wants to encourage young budding scientists to explore the field, its offerings, how chemistry can be fun, careers related to this stream of science and so on. “In the end, it’s all about having fun while you study or work,” Rustagi points out.
