Ever wondered what the insides of a laboratory at the Indian Institute of Technology-Delhi looks like? How about wanting to see a robotics show or perhaps witness a mini quadcopter take to the skies? You’re in luck, for IIT-Delhi’s traditional “Open House”, where it throws open its doors to the good citizens of the city, is happening this Saturday.
“Almost all our laboratories, departments and research will be open to the public on this day. Along with over 500 projects that showcase innovations in engineering and technology, science and humanities, design and management,” said Prof. Joby Joseph, who is the “Open House” chairperson this year.
“This time, we have given special attention to design, and socially relevant and commercially viable projects,” he added.
“A lot of students have already confirmed their presence as we have some talks lined up along with the actual exhibition. Schoolchildren never fail to astound us with their questions,” said Dean of Research and Development Prof. Suneet Tuli, while revealing that their research funding had reached around Rs.106 crore this year.
