Andhra Pradesh government to launch science parks in urban areas
Vijayawada: Making a strong pitch for the proposed prestigious Quantum Valley and AI projects, the state govt has decided to build the 'science momentum' by launching an innovative project- science parks in urban areas. The govt is determined to create a positive environment for the Quantum valley with a series of activities. The science park project, which is being seen as a transformational educational infrastructure initiative will be taken up in PPP model. The Science City of Andhra Pradesh, the nodal agency to implement the science parks project, has designed the project with an aim to promote hands-on, inquiry-driven learning for school students, science enthusiasts, and general public. "Igniting scientific curiosity is the main objective of the science parks concept. It will help establish interactive environments where students and public can explore and experience science in a physical and engaging way. It will also provide opportunities for first-principles thinking by enabling real-time visualization of complex scientific concepts," chief executive officer (CEO) of Science City of AP, Kesineni Venkateswarlu told TOI. He explained that it will foster an early culture of deep-tech thinking and innovation-oriented education across the state. He said that they wanted to allow both general public and students of all schools in the vicinity to access a common science learning hub, thereby optimizing resources and impact.
