Gelleries :

Information & Communication Technology:
This gallery will take you to the wonderful journey of Information and Communication Technology starting from cave paintings to the modern world of Internet. As you walk through the gallery you will come across the exhibits like Digital Corridor, Virtual Reality, Global Positioning System etc. This Gallery uses various intelligent systems such as mobile handsets, computers, internet, communication satellites, optical fibers, laser gadgets and other image processing gadgets such as a Computer Tomography machine etc. as a mode of edutainment. This Gallery is a just a glimpse of how information communication technologies have shrunk our world to a global village. (Photo)

 

Inventions
Throughout the history, people have imagined and then created new things to make their lives better, easier, and more enjoyable. From the wheel to penicillin to computer, inventions continue to change the way we live. Inventions changed the world. These are need driven and some times accidental. They create a domino effect spawning other essential inventions in their wake.
The gallery on Invention is an effort to bring these inventions live & understandable to common man in general & students in particular. The exhibition on invention having a wide range of exhibits explaining the fundamental scientific principles involved in inventing in a vivid and easily understandable manner using presentation techniques like interactive exhibits & display panels.
The exhibition comprises of exhibits on various aspects of fundamental science like what is a matter made of? How radio works? How steam engine works? How sound is recorded? Etc.(Photo)

Science on A Sphere Show:
Raman Science Centre Nagpur has added a new facility called Science On a Sphere to the attractions. Science on a Sphere Show was inaugurated on 07TH March 2018 at 11.00 am by Shri. A.S. Kiran Kumar, Vikram Sarabhai Distinguished Professor and Former Chairman, ISRO.
 Science On a Sphere (SOS) is a spherical projection system created by The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), an American scientific agency within the United States Department of Commerce that focuses on the conditions of the oceans and the atmosphere. NOAA warns of dangerous weather, charts seas and maps the use of ocean and coastal resources. SOS presents high-resolution video on a suspended globe rather than a flat screen, with the aim of better representing global phenomena. Animated images of atmospheric storms, climate change, and ocean temperature can be shown on the sphere to explain these complex environmental processes. SOS systems are most frequently installed in science museums, universities, zoos, and research institutions, although new and novel uses for these systems in a variety of presentation spaces and contexts are starting to emerge. The system has been installed in more than 150 locations worldwide. The shows are conducted every day at 12.00, 1.00, 2.00 3.00, 4.00, 5.00 pm
