Intricate biological concepts such as DNA replication mechanism and genetic mutations were demonstrated using fun-filled activities. The workshop concluded with the observation session, where the myriad complexities of the biological world were explained under the powerful lens of the microscope. 
 
The Science Park was established by Aseem in June 2019 to make students understand the basic principles of science through games and fun. Aseem Foundation's Ladakh Science Club looks forward to active participation from more schools for the next activities.
