Hello!
Here’s a report on the 37th TAS Municipal School Program.
Today we visited the municipal school Hindi no. 1at Naranpura, Ahmedabad.
As usual, we were accorded a warm welcome by the students and the authorities excitedly awaiting the program.
The program started with Venus observation. They were particularly amazed to see it’s phase. During the interactive session that followed, the Aurora & Lunar Rover slides 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! Questions like – what are dark spots on sun, who was the first Indian to go to space?’ created some interesting debates. Some exceptionally bright students like Samir Somaiya and Sunny Rana answered my questions with amazing clarity and were awarded prizes 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 acknowledge the gracious support of the following people in making this program a success: Jigar Darji & Stephen Samuel for set up & Rajesh Nath for photo documentation and other help. We thank them all for their interest.
