On acquiring basic ideas by students then teach them to learn circuits and basic designs of simplified machines and at later age them can be asked to prepare models their own with support of school and of course government support required interms of basic infrastructure as well as funding and when this happen we will certainly excel in international science festival not only this but this will help us to strengthen our manufacturing capabilities

Our country is organizing science festival for school level from more than 20 years but its just formalities students asked to prepare models their own without giving them basic knowledge in turn students bought models from shops and submit it to school for science festivals thus defeat of idea of conducting science festival you can see problem lies in our education system we should first improve our system where teachers must be trained to teach students how to prepare small models first
