Ideas resolving day-to-day problems, from building a green city through proper urban planning to electricity production from bacteria, came alive at a first-ever intra-university “Science Expo 2018” at BRAC University on 11 March 2018.
Jointly organised by the Department of Mathematics and Natural Sciences and BRAC University Natural Sciences Club from 9:00am, the exhibition saw students submitting over 40 projects applying basic sciences, from which 21 were finally selected.
The notable projects were on smart irrigation, safety jewellery for women, a pet robot, an eco car and dose defined medication. There was a quiz competition where the audience even discussed what reality was.
“I believe that universities are the changemakers among changemakers,” said Vice Chancellor Professor Syed Saad Andaleeb PhD as the chief guest before giving out prize money to three projects adjudged as the best.
Students cannot learn everything from books and so should find ways to acquire knowledge and apply those so as to build their future, he added.
The event was chaired by the department Chairperson AFM Yusuf Haider while Pro-Vice Chancellor Professor Ansar Ahmed, Registrar Md Foyzul Islam, Treasurer SN Kairy and other higher officials were present.
