SWAT: People from all walks thronged science, IT and arts exhibition at Wadudia Hall in Government Postgraduate Jahanzeb College, Swat.

They said that technology-based practical knowledge was need of the hour while theory-based education had become obsolete in the modern world. The exhibition was organised by higher education department in collaboration with Government Postgraduate Jahanzeb College, Swat.

Students from colleges in Swat and Shangla showcased a variety of science, arts, cultural and information technology projects, demonstrating their skills and passion for modern knowledge with a blend of cultural elements.

Several students presented innovative models based on 3D printing, robotics and Arduino UNO technology. The organisers said that the exhibition was meant to explore the hidden talents of students and encourage them to create application-based projects and models.

“Practical exhibitions of various subjects are part of the syllabus. I am thrilled to see that both male and female students participated in the exhibition, showcasing their talents through their models and projects,” said Mohammad Saleem, principal of Postgraduate Jahanzeb College. He said that the exhibition was a golden opportunity for students to present their work to people and educationists.

Visitors praised the efforts of students and showed great interest in the functional models on display.

“This is truly amazing work by the students. For the first time, I am seeing useful projects that have real-world applications, especially those based on information technology and robotics. Personally, the model of generating electricity from a bicycle inspired me the most,” said Sabbar Ali, a visitor.

The students expressed their excitement about presenting their projects to a large audience and receiving appreciation.

“We had the opportunity to showcase our talent to so many visitors today. I am very happy that many people encouraged me for my work,” said Huma Shafiq, who designed a model focusing on women’s and transgender rights.

Other students exhibited 3D models of the Gandhara civilisation. “We recently started 3D printing and created models of Buddha, which were highly appreciated,” said Abdul Samad Khan and Yahya Khan, a student at SPS College Swat.
