Like last year, this year too, Science Ashram has posed a scenario from Anglo-Mysore War II, wherein a British battalion was defeated.

The primary reason this battle was won was because of the scientific approach towards problem-solving and high order thinking skills used. This reasoning of Tippu Sultan gave rise to missile technology.

NASA has displayed a painting of this battle scene in their centre in the US. This was recognized by late Dr Abdul Kalam at Wallops Flight Facility, the base for NASAs Sounding Rocket Programme. The participants will be narrated this story and will be asked to devise an innovative solution assuming that they are in the times of Tippu Sultan and are fighting against the British from the island town of Srirangapatnam.

This type of problem/scenario-based question is known as project based learning. It creates immense curiosity-making children self-directed learners.
