Some of the students said that it is a very special event as they could showcase their creative works and experiments.
“It is at this time we students get opportunity to attract ourselves to find out more about science and the way it affects in a fun and informative manner. This exhibition allows us students to realise that science and technology are going to be the subject that will be needed in the workplace in a few years time,” said one of the students.
