The whole team reported to the principal and formally introduced ourselves. We requested to arrange a interactive session with the students.

• The 5^th & 6^th standard students gathered in a room.
• Firstly a small game was conducted for the students.
• The students introduced themselves and shared their aims with everybody.
• Chocolates were given to the students for encouragement.
• Gayatri addressed the students:

            o Told them the story of Archimede's victory cry "EUREKA" to explain the importance of density of a substance.
            o She explained that "Anybody can become great" by giving the example of Dr.A.P.J. Abdul Kalam.
            o Motivated students to learn and teach others.
            o Encouraged them to learn by doing things practically.
            o Motivated them to learn, teach, develop and make India "developed" country.

7^th, 8^th & 9^th students gathered in a room for interaction session.

• The students introduced themselves and shared their aims with everybody.
• We asked the students if they knew what they had to do to achieve their aims. We explained a few of them what their further steps should be.
• Gayatri motivated the students not to be disappointed with the failures but to proceed till they reach the success.
• We explained the importance of developing their strengths and exhibiting their talents.

After the interaction, we had a meeting with the Correspondent and the Science Teachers. This meeting was more of an interaction with them and little of professional talks.

The Correspondent's advice to the team:
o Create awareness among the students and open them up to the outside world.
o Motivate them to learn more & aim higher.
o Show them that they have a lot of opportunities awaiting them.
