Events

1. Inquest: Inquest is one of the benchmark events of SCOSH. It is the event for which SCOSH is known for. This is a national level researchathon. Inquest is to encourage students to read a proper research paper and simultaneously improving their time management and presentation skills. Thus, enhancing your research aptitude as a whole.
   SCOSH encourages and help students to read, analyze and understand a research paper. It creates awareness amongst the students how scientific writings are done, how years and years of research is put on a paper.
2. BEYOND – Beings Yearn On New Delusions : This is a unique event for college students to brainstorm about the laws and theories of science. It gives a unique opportunity to delve into the ifs and buts of science, through their self-fabricated fictional world. The event in simple words is ‘4 Scientific Concepts, 2 Insane Twists, 1 Fictional Plot’.
3. Reel Time Science: o As the name suggests, we bring in the entertainment of movies and thoughtfulness of science with Reel Time Science. With this event, SCOSH aims you to gain insights into how a simple movie scene can have lots of scientific knowledge to give for. Thus, improving your observational, analytical and logical thinking skills all at once.
   The answers are not judged based on just one answer key. Here we expect out of the box answers and there is no boundary for thinking. This is what makes the event more competitive, more fun and trickier.
4. Prakriti: Event solely organized for the young minds of the nation, i.e., students of primary and secondary grades; to develop a scientific temperament amongst them via conducting fun and interesting activities which motivate them.
   As Carl Sagan has quoted, “Somewhere something incredible is waiting to be known”. SCOSH, with Prakriti tries to unleash the incredible and unveil the unknown.
5. The Job Journey: Career Guidance, learning recommendations and a perfect path; this is what everyone needs. The Job Journey from SCOSH is a zealous webinar covering these aspects from a perspective of industry experts and fellows who have experience of the particular field. SCOSH intends to guide the curious minds of the nation.
6. Workshops: SCOSH conducts various workshops to give hands-on experience to students with new stuff coming up every day. From Python Programming to MATLAB and LaTeX, we impart knowledge from the very basics and take them to a specific important topic of the software.
   We provide environment where they can explore the new field of data science and analytics, research areas and technical aspects along with special talk sessions with our expert speakers during the workshops.

The chapter stands on the pillars of support- 'the volunteers' of this movement. Following are the volunteering experiences shared by few of them:

1. The Human Genome Project by: Abhishek Mondal (MSc. III – Chemistry)
   o The project’s significant goals were first drafted in 1988 by the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, and later a detailed timeline was jointly given by the National Institutes of Health and the Department of Energy. In 1990 the planning was completed with the release of Understanding Our Genetic Inheritance: The Human Genome Project.
   o HGP ignited the imagination of many biologists and set up a fundamental paradigm change in biology; initially resisted due to clashes in ideas but ultimately proved significant transformations in various fields of biology.
2. Data: Oil of the Digital Age by: Suryam Gupta (MSc. III – Mathematics)
   o In 1 Internet Minute, 400,000 hours of video is streamed on Netflix, 500 hours of video is uploaded by users on YouTube and 42 million messages are shared on WhatsApp ¬¬– this data keeps on increasing exponentially.
   o With the amount of data increasing day by day, it has definitely emerged as a growing field with a bright future and people have come to realise its importance. Considering its applications in multiple sectors including but not limited to, Security, Transportation, Delivery, Healthcare, Travelling, Banking, Education, Energy, Agricultural and many others, Data Science is truly the future.
3. NASA Projects: Past, Present and Future in search of ‘Life’ by: Somdeep Bhushan (B. tech III –Mechanical)
   o Viking Project, launched in 1975 was the very first attempt to search life on another planet. It revealed the unexpected presence of chemical activity on Martian soil, but could not provide presence of living organisms.
   o Since then, NASA and other prominent explorers have found a lot of data and analysed it. Witness the NASA projects right from 1975 till 2027’s Dragonfly mission to Saturn for the past, present and future in search of ‘life’.
4. Anechoic Chamber by: Om Desai (MSc. III – Chemistry)
   o A beautiful construction at the Microsoft headquarters in Redmond, Washington, constructed in a span of one and a half year. Known as the Anechoic Chamber, it makes itself somewhat disconnected from the outside world.
   o Evidently, background noise inside reaches to such low levels that mathematicians have theorized it as the absolute zero of sound; beyond it, is vacuum. The noise level measured inside the chamber was -20.3 dBA.It offers a very rare and sensational experience, from the minuteness of sounds to the loudness of human beings.
