OMA reaches a school in India

Published on

Sudharsan Srinivasan, our fellow based at Paul Scherrer Institut, gave a public talk on “Accelerators in daily life” at Kendriya Vidyalaya: 2, Kalpakkam, India in July 2017. His audience were 40 high school students. The talk focused on influence of particle accelerators on our routine life, with emphasis on the working principles and the history of accelerators. It created a lot of interest among the audience and resulted in students asking many questions to get a deeper knowledge of accelerators. Sudharsan also briefed them about the OMA network at its objectives.

Not restricting the discussion to just accelerators, Sudharsan helped with suggestions on how the students can shape their approach towards science in general and also shared his experiences of being a researcher. A number of students is now in touch with Sudharsan for further discussions.
