When it comes to inspiring young minds and making science accessible and fun for the next generation, our very own Dinka Lale is unmatched. This week, as part of this year’s Science Festival, she conducted two workshops for elementary and high school students, as well as university students.

In Thursday’s workshop, participants measured the time it took for water to boil in different materials, using various pots and heat sources. They concluded which heat sources are best for cooking, considering time and cost-effectiveness.

Today’s workshop began with an interactive lecture on the sun and electricity generation using solar panels. Dinka introduced students to the world of solar energy in an engaging way, and participants observed how changing the intensity of radiation and the angle of incidence alters the measured voltage. They used ammeters to measure the current in the circuit

Thank you, Dinka and the UNIDU team, for your commitment to nurturing young minds. And, of course, a special thanks to the participants for their curiosity and readiness to embrace the wonders of science.
