expeyes-an.open.source.pocket.science.labAn understanding of science and technology is necessary in every students life. The main challenge in the field of science Education at a global level is the declining interest of students into science. Unfortunately the performance of a student is often measured by the ability to memorize than the real understanding. as a result most of them fail to apply what they learn in the classroom to the things they encounter in real life. Students also lose interest because of absence of appropriate motivation and also due to the of lack of equipment.Workshop RoomPraveen
