Catalyst, a Science Festival of YS Schools, is an initiative taken for the
practical application of classroom teaching, where students prepare
and present various models from Science, Social Science, Maths,
English, and Art n Craft, etc. to showcase and enhance their level of
learning. The purpose of such festivals is to build the attitude of the
students towards understanding the concepts, to inculcate zeal to
probe into the working of almost anything and everything in this world
and to build a faith system among them that nothing is impossible if it
is worked for. During these events, we observe the students growing,
learning, working hard, exploring websites, reading books,
understanding concepts, gathering knowledge, preparing
presentations and building confidence. In the nutshell, carving a road
of success to the future, as the future belongs to those who prepare
well for it.
Each year more than 1500 Young Scholars exhibit hundreds of models
of various fields during CATALYST, in which they prepare the models
from the topics/concepts that they are learning in their classrooms,
using very ordinary and daily usable articles like CDs, cardboards,
plastic bottles, etc. An event of such magnitude is certainly beneficial
in polishing communication skills and boosting the confidence of the
students
