Sci-Fest, a science expo cum workshop organised by the National Institute of Technology Calicut drew good participation from school students. Around 250 high school students from various schools across Kerala reached the institute on Thursday to exhibit their prototypes and to get hands-on experience with the laboratory facilities and innovations at NIT Calicut.

The programme was jointly organised by the Institution’s Innovation Council (IIC) and the National Service Scheme. Student participants visited the laboratories of various Engineering Departments on the campus.

Sci-Fest was inaugurated by Prof. J Sudhakumar, Director-in-charge of NIT Calicut. NITC aims at spreading knowledge and technology to other institutions and local communities, he said during the inaugural address.
