2023 SCI-COM FAIR REPORT

BY: NILKANTH DESAI FES 7A

INTRODUCTION
“IDEAS TAKE PLACE WHEN SCIENTISTS AND ENTREPRENEURS UNITE”, WAS
THE MOTTO OF JUBILEE SCHOOL’S THIRD-ANNUAL SCI-COM FAIR WHICH
WAS HELD ON THE EIGHTH FLOOR IN THE HALL FROM 9 A.M TO 2 P.M. AT
15 FEBRUARY, 2023. THIS OCCASION CONSISTED OF ALL YOUNG
INDIVIDUALS OF FES 7-12 HAVING PREPARED THEIR INTERESTING
INVENTIONS AND PRODUCTS FOR THEIR CURIOUS VISITORS AND JUNIORS.

THE PREPARATION
ONCE FES STUDENTS HEARD THE LOOMING SCI-COM FAIR TAKING PLACE AT
FEBRUARY, MOST INSTANTLY STARTED DISCUSSING WITH THEIR
PARTICULAR GROUP MEMBERS ABOUT WHAT THEY SHOULD PREPARE. FOR
MY CLASS, WE WERE ALLOCATED BIOLOGY AS OUR SCIENCE SUBJECT.
ALTHOUGH WE HAD BRAINSTROMED SOME IDEAS, WE WERE DOUBTFUL
ABOUT WHAT WE WANTED TO ILLUSTRATE TO THE JUDGES AND VISITORS.
WE THOUGHT AND THOUGHT, AND 1 MONTH HAD PASSED BUT WE HAD
DONE NOTHING. THEREFORE, WE HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO RUSH AND
FINISH ALL THE EXPERIMENTS WE HAD THOUGHT IN ONLY TWO MONTHS.
WE REALLY WISHED WE COULD STOP TIME. WE DECIDED TO SETTLE ON
TWO EXPERIMENTS: THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT AND THE DIGESTIVE
SYSTEM. IN ADDITION TO THE EXPERIMENTS, WE WERE ALSO BURDENED
WITH PRESENTATION SLIDES AND EDITING VIDEOS, BUT WE MANAGED TO
FINISH BOTH EXPERIMENTS ON TIME.

THE SCI-COM FAIR

ON THE DAY OF THE FAIR THERE WAS A REAL BUZZ ON THE AIR. ACROSS
THE HALL LAID TWENTY TWO BOOTHS. EVERY GROUP HAD 1-3
EXPERIMENTS WHICH WERE A GREAT SUCCESS AS IT PROVIDES AN
ENJOYABLE OPPORTUNITY FOR STUDENTS TO LEARN COMMERCE AND
EXPERIMENT SCIENCE. THE ENTHUSIASM OF THE STUDENTS WAS TRULY
INSPIRING. BEFORE THE FAIR STARTED, MUSICAL AND DANCE
PERFORMANCES WERE HELD. THEN, VISITORS CAME RUSHING IN,
CROWDING THE HALL. SOME OF MY CLASSMATES SAT, WAITING FOR THEIR
TURN TO PRESENT AFTER THE CHANGING OF SHIFTS, BORED. I WAS ALSO
WAITING UNTIL I HAD THE INITIATIVE TO ATTRACT VISITORS BY WALKING
AROUND WHILE HOLDING A POSTER OF MY CLASS’S EXPERIMENTS. SINCE
THEN, MORE CUSTOMERS CAME TO OUR BOOTH, AND GOT INTERESTED IN
OUR EXPERIMENTS. THEN, THE TIME FOR THE CLOSING CEREMONY WAS
REACHED AND WE ALL HAD TO STAND WHILE LISTENING TO THE
ANNOUNCEMENT OF TROPHIES AND AWARDS. UNFORTUNATELY, MY
CLASS’S BOOTH WAS NOT ON THE LIST OF WINNERS BY JUDGES NOR
VISITORS’ CHOICE, BUT WE WERE STILL PROUD OF WHAT WE HAVE DONE
FOR THIS BOOTH.

SUGGESTIONS
I WOULD SUGGEST THE SCI-COM FAIR TO BE HELD AT THE TIME CLOSE TO
TESTS, PROJECTS OR ANY OTHER ASSIGNMENTS. I WOULD ALSO SUGGEST A
BIGGER PLACE FOR EACH BOOTH TO HAVE.
