Limit Infinity
Learning is an active process and the best way to learn is by doing. It was with this intent that the Infosys Science Foundation started the Limit Infinity initiative.
Our Goal
Through an engaging mix of activities such as quizzes, skits, declamations, and team games, Limit Infinity stimulates creativity, encourages critical thinking, and promotes a spirit of inquiry.
Students are encouraged to explore their world beyond textbooks. Disciplines explored in depth include math, physics, political science, biology, and climate science.
Our Partners
Infosys Science Foundation partners with Sishu Griha Montessori and High School to conduct the Limit Infinity fest.
Impact
The Limit Infinity series started in 2012 with math as the theme. 160 students participated in The Number Games. In the last edition of Limit Infinity held in 2019, more than 600 students participated.
On The Shoulders Of Giants
In addition to sharpening their critical thinking, enhancing their skills, and challenging their creativity, the students also get to interact with the best minds in science and research .
Over the years laureates and jurors like Prof. Chandrasekhar Khare, Prof. Satyajit Mayor, Prof. T.V. Ramakrishnan, and Prof. Rajaram Nityananda have participated in the Limit Infinity fest to inspire and mentor students and provide them valuable insights into what it means to live a life dedicated to science and research.
Over the years the various editions of Limit Infinity have celebrated significant events and milestones in the world of science.
