51ah/SCT is dedicated to the propagation of scientific temper. Learning sessions are constructed on the tenets of critical pedagogy, where each participant presents their own own unique perspective and then listens to views of other participants, thereby providing the individual and the group with multiple viewpoints on a given Topic. The focus is rather on Why?, How? & What if? Every Sunday at 4.30pm participants take part in a Zoom debate / discussion where alongside critical thinking they also learn time management, contact management, spoken English, public speaking, interview training, meeting etiquette, environmental awareness etc.
