The Khwarizmi Science Society (KSS), Pakistan, proudly presented the 6th edition of the annual Lahore Science Mela (LSM 2025), a grand celebration of science, creativity, and innovation. The much-anticipated festival was held on 25 and 26 October 2025 at Crescent Model Higher Secondary School (Boys Campus), Shadman, Lahore. Building on the success of LSM 2023, which captivated thousands of visitors, this year’s edition proved to be even more dynamic and engaging. The event brought together scientists, students, educators, and families to come together in the spirit of discovery — to learn, explore, and celebrate the power of science.

This year, the team from the Institute of Metallurgy & Materials Engineering (IMME), Faculty of Chemical and Materials, University of the Punjab, proudly contributed in the “ChemStudio” at the Surpriseum of Lahore Science Mela 2025. Under the mentorship of Dr. Ameeq Farooq (Assistant Professor, IMME), the team presented more than 26 interactive demonstrations highlighting the wonders of chemistry, materials science, and engineering innovations. Each demonstration was designed to spark curiosity and inspire young minds through hands-on experiences, scientific explanations, and creative experiments that bridged classroom learning with real-world applications.

The demonstrations covered a wide range of fascinating phenomena like Fake Blood, Hidden Message, Bleeding Heart, Combustion reactions, Color of Copper Sulphate, Chemical Garden, Color of Fumes, Aluminum Can, Copper Electroplating, Zinc Electroplating, Electrochemical Cell, Fruit Cell, Heating and Cooling Pad, Dehydration of Sugar, Bubble Formation, Conductor, Semi-conductor and Insulator materials, Non-Newtonian Fluid, Polarization of Light, Glowing Copper Coil, Brass Layer on Copper and Fingerprint identification.
