CM launches science app for students
Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav on Saturday launched a mobile app–’Hello Young Scientist Quiz’, created by Council of Science & Technology (CST), Uttar Pradesh to sensitize young minds towards modern science and technology.
Unlike other quizzing mobile applications in the play store, ‘Hello Young Scientist’ is the official app of the CST.
SM Prasad, joint director, CST, department of science and technology,, said it was slightly different and perhaps the most authentic application. “It has the most authentic information and quizzes that will help the young minds learn about current affairs, making them aware of the latest technologies and happenings in the field of science and technology,” he said.
The app, Prasad said, was available free on the play store, from where the smart phone users could download it. On downloading the application, the application would ask the user to make an account. “In this, the users also have to put in the details of the schools and other information,” said Prasad.
Once logged in, the user can start the quiz.
Besides, it also has updates of the latest happenings in the field of science and technology across the globe.
“It would surely motivate the students to opt for the science stream and this would eventually help in bringing prosperity to the nation,” he added.
