OPEN DAY 2019
March 2019
We can judge our progress by the courage of our questions and the depth of our answers, our willingness to embrace what is true rather than what feels good
- Carl Sagan
Open day, as the name suggests, is an occasion when IISc 'opens' its premises to all the curious and budding minds, presenting them with a golden opportunity to witness first-hand the plethora of diverse and original research transpiring in the Institute. Marked by a motley of scientific demonstrations, fun activities and simultaneous question and answer sessions, the students of the institute consider it both a moral and pedagogic responsibility to apprise the new generation of the current state-of-the-art, thereby inspiring the interested ones to pursue research in the future. Make no mistake, even the 'not-so-research-oriented' folks are welcome to drop by for some unprecedented fun and have a day off from their intense schedule.
The Laboratory for Hypersonic and Shock wave Research (LHSR) is dedicated to research in high-speed, high-enthalpy flows and collaborative work. We welcome one and all on Saturday, March 10, 2018 between 0900 to 1700 hrs to enjoy and learn from the miniature experiments planned in the Laboratory . It would be a privilege to cater to questions, so do not hesitate to 'ask to your heart's content'.
