People were even standing at the door to unveil secret of solar system
Teachers were understanding crater formation
Hello!
Here’s a report on the 42nd TAS Municipal School Program.
Today we visited the municipal school no. 15 at Asarva, 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 Lunar observation. They were particularly amazed to see the craters of the moon. During the interactive session that followed, the room was jam pack. Nearly all the slides of solar system fascinated them all, as they never thought of such world outside the earth. 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! Both, the teachers and students, were especially keen to have us come again to give them a deeper understanding.
At the end of the session, we were informed by teachers that they are from very poor families. They are all street venders of vegetables. Girls were not allowed from their family due to unsecured feelings of parents.
We acknowledge the gracious support of the following people in making this program a success: teacher Piyushbhai, Jigar Darji & Stephen Samuel for set up and Rajesh Nath for overall help with photo documentation. We thank them all for their interest.
