Hello!
Here’s a report on the 15th TAS Program.
Today we visited the municipal school no. 6 at Maninagar, Ahmedabad.
As usual, we were accorded a warm welcome by the students and the authorities excitedly awaiting the program.
The poster display was set up for the students to explore the mysteries of the solar system at their own pace. And we watched them peruse the information and discuss the same with their friends.
The program started with observation of Venus. They were particularly amazed to see the half phase of Venus, as they thought its Moon. During the interactive session that followed, the Aurora Borealis slide fascinated them all. Another wonderful thing that gave us tremendous satisfaction is that the teachers too got into the spirit of things and participated wholeheartedly in the question – answer sessions that interspersed the presentation! Especially, about the first person to go to Space and Moon. Questions like – Do you know that “Sun has Corona around it?” created some interesting debates. Some exceptionally bright students like Kajal Gaikwad answered my questions with amazing clarity and was awarded prize at the end of the presentation. Both, the teachers and students, were especially keen to have us come again to give them a deeper understanding. We were given return gifts for the first time today.
We acknowledge the gracious support of the following people in making this program a success: Urvi Vyas, Jigar Darji, Ravi. We thank them all for their interest.
