visiting IIT

In the chill of the wednesday morning we boarded our bus which was due to take us to IIT. The visit was organized by the school and grade 11and 12 accompanied us(I am in grade 9). We reached there by 9:00 . The vastness of the campus appalled me. Every corner was green. Several football fields took our breath away.

Our first was SINE where we were shown to the conference room. There we received refreshments. We were introduced to the tasks which the IIT performs and were given the basic knowledge about robotics. Why were they invented where are they used and were also shown some of the robots like edge detector and follower.

We were taken to the IDC in an innovation cell where a group of students made robots from the smallest size to the biggest. Later we gave small visits to the sound recording studio where they made us hear some countryside instruments like the ektara and pakhawach.

In the innovation sector we went to film making section. After that we drove the electric scooters.

We saw the electron micro scope which were huge and heavy looking instruments. They could give a magnification which almost made the molecules visible.The highest magnification we saw was 1,50,000x.
