Summer School Student Workshop 2018
A Mathematics and Science workshop for high school students, organized by graduate students
#The program is intended for students who are going into classes IX - XII.
The workshop will consist of activity sessions, lectures and research talks in a range of topics by students and professors of the institute. We hope to be able to share with students the curiosity and excitement that we have for mathematics, science and research.
The program is free. Lunch and snacks will be provided.
The workshop is meant for local students. IMSc is unable to provide any support towards travel and accommodation.
