Event Start Date : 03/08/2023 Event End Date 03/08/2023
School arranged a special screening of the movie 'Oppenheimer' for the students of classes XI -XII (Science) at MBD Neopolis.
The objective was to give them experiential learning of atomic bombings (Hiroshima) in Japan.
The movie is based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer by Kai Bird and the late Martin J. Sherwin.
During World War II, Lt. Gen. Leslie Groves Jr. appointed physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer to work on the top-secret Manhattan Project. Oppenheimer and his team of scientists spent years developing and designing the atomic bomb. Their work came to fruition on July 16, 1945, as they witnessed the world's first nuclear explosion, forever changing the course of history.
Students came back enriched and they were asked to reflect upon their experiences from the movie.
Principal Mrs.J.K.Sidhu in her address said that such educational trips must be organised in future also to provide the students first hand learning experience.
