Sir C V Raman was an Indian physicist who won a Nobel Prize for the discovery of the Raman Effect. February 28 is celebrated as National Science Day to commemorate Raman’s discovery and Apple has curated a list of apps from the App Store, which would aid the development of a scientific temper in children. Many of these apps use the power of AR, which make a huge difference in how children work, learn, play, shop and connect with the world around them
