Walls have been thematically painted and the entry gate of the park is thematically designed. Benches and two 3D models have also been installed successfully. We will deploy a science guide once the park opens for students,\u201d said NDMC vice-chairperson Kuljeet Chahal. Students from NDMC and other schools will get to explore this space, he added.Positioned centrally for accessibility, \u201cthe place will provide students with access to diverse science and mathematics exhibits, fostering curiosity and a love for learning\u201d, said officials. Through interactive and activity-based learning in a technology-driven environment, students will engage in hands-on exploration, deepening their understanding of scientific concepts, they added.NDMC\u2019s horticulture department has established a herbal garden, showcasing a variety of medicinal and aromatic plants for educational and awareness purposes. A conference room is being provided for showing and explaining theories of science.Two rooms will be developed later as an AI centre and immersion space based on the theme, Bharat Antariksh Station. \u201cThey will have modular fabrication, augmented reality or virtual reality (AR\/VR)-enabled learning interactive zones & movie\/projection area,\u201d said an official. \u201cThey will be dedicated physical or digital spaces equipped with augmented and virtual reality tools, such as headsets, specialised screens and motion controllers, which will let students actively manipulate 3D educational simulations.\u201dNDMC has already introduced tinkering labs in its schools, and the park will further strengthen practical and concept-based learning, inspiring the next generation of innovators, officials said.<\/div>\n
