We
are surrounded with a world of science where our actions, reactions,
circumstances, beliefs, thoughts and everything has some direct or indirect
connection with science. Proven science is what we study in school but there
many scientific facts which are not completely proven even though we believe in
it. That is the kind of relationship exists between any living thing and
science.
Amazingly
the new generation seems to be more inclined towards science and technology
than the prior generation. If someone asks me about my ‘experiments with
science’, I have a very bad relationship with science though I know the basics
of it. Other than the basic science of my existence every other science is a
rocket science for me. But when I look at the young ones I could feel the
drastic difference even in their thinking and attitude towards science and
technology and it gives a promising feeling towards a brighter future.
The
development in the field of technology helped a lot in bringing this change.
Children have access to which ever media they want to look into for better
understanding of things. Even the toughest and boring science theories are now
easy to understand with the assistance of a computer and internet. They have en
number of choice these days which we never had and they can develop their own
methodology to understand the complex math calculations and unending formulas
in chemistry. Since they have such gifted talent and availability of technology
we should encourage them to go ahead with their crazy ideas and experiments.
After all every big theories and inventions came from such crazy ideas of our
prior geniuses.
What
I believe is family can give the support to child so than he/she can achieve
their goal. Provide an atmosphere where they can do whatever they want and keep
a mind set to listen and see whatever they creating. But other than family
their school can do much more as it will become easy for them to understand
what they are doing since they study the theories in classrooms. Fortunately in
our country we can find several educational institutions especially
international schools in India that provide facilities for children to nurture
in the field they would like to.
If
we take an example like Oakridge International School in Hyderabad, the school
dedicate much of its time to encourage those talents in each kid which will
benefit the entire world tomorrow. Especially when the kid is more inclined to
science they offer various workshops and learning programs to widen the
knowledge are of the kid and help him chose his way. If all of us can promise this
to each child there will be a brighter future waiting for them and us too.
