Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think.
– Albert Einstein
An educational trip to the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi was organised by Queen’s Valley School on 8th November 2025 for the science students of Class XI. The visit aimed to motivate students towards scientific learning and research by providing them with exposure to advanced laboratories, modern technology, and the academic atmosphere of one of India’s leading institutes.
Students were warmly received and guided through several laboratories, each highlighting the practical application of scientific concepts. In the Pharmaceutical Laboratory, they observed how chromatography is used to detect impurities in medicines, linking classroom chemistry to real-world pharmaceutical testing. The Physics Laboratory showcased a polarising microscope and a 3D printer, helping students understand how innovative tools support material research and modern manufacturing. The Electrical Laboratory introduced them to the working of transformers, rectifiers, and the concepts of AC and DC currents through live demonstrations.
The Chemistry Laboratory presented experiments on compound analysis and laboratory safety, while the Virtual Reality Laboratory provided an immersive 3D visualization explaining how breast cancer affects women. This experience illustrated how technology and medical science come together to advance research and education.
Beyond the laboratories, students explored the IIT Delhi campus and gained insights into the life of researchers and scholars. They were inspired by the institute’s spirit of innovation, collaboration, and dedication to scientific progress. The educational trip proved to be a valuable and inspiring experience that connected theory with practice. It encouraged students to think critically, explore creatively, and aspire towards excellence in science and technology, leaving them with lasting motivation to pursue their academic dreams.
