Science Quest - Science and Tech Journalism at IIT Delhi

Science Quest is an exciting, student led initiative aimed at creating and promoting a culture of Science Journalism at IIT Delhi. Students came up with an idea for a platform, a vehicle that shares their research, interests and scientific pursuits with the community at large.  With this dawned the realization that IIT lacks a medium for communicating the research interests of the diverse community. Well no longer !

Objective

Among IIT Delhi’s myriad of cultural activities, there is substantial research work being carried out in various departments.  It is ironical that in one of India’s best technical institute, there isn't a medium to showcase the research being carried out. Science Quest aims to fill this gap.
This initiative aims to address this issue by

●    Providing a platform for students and faculty to share their research, stories, endeavors, interests etc.

●    Providing a portal, accessible to students with a diverse range of articles on issues relating to science and technological development

●    Seeks to motivate students by inducting them into the wonders and mysteries of science

●    Engaging the iit community and instilling the spirit of scientific pursuit

Content

Science Quest will feature articles accessible to a popular audience. The content of the article may address the following broad categories:
-  General Articles which talk about issues of Science and Technology at the world level. These could be from any science and technology field under the sun and may not be work done by students but simply an expression of their interest in the field.

-Articles related to original work done by students in the form of semester projects, hobby projects, summer internships, BTech Projects, Graduate/Doctoral Theses and otherwise.

These contributions are NOT papers but accurate versions that are more easily understandable to non expert audience and are written by students. There is a huge emphasis on comprehensibility of the content. That is what will make Science Quest different from a journal. We want that science and technology should be made accessible not just in the physical sense but also in terms of understanding. A one line explanation would be that all content should be well understood by an interested freshman.
