Enjoying poster detail.
Hello!
Here’s a report on the 54th TAS Program.
Today we visited Girls Polytechnic, Ahmedabad. We were special called to deliver lecture for students studying in EC (Electronics & Communication). They wanted to understand secrets of our solar system and also they wanted some guidance for making career in Astronomy.
As usual, we were accorded a warm welcome by the students and the authorities excitedly awaiting the program.
The poster display was set up on the floor for the students to explore the mysteries of the solar system at their own pace. This time we also displayed posters used during 100 HA. And we watched them peruse the information and discuss the same with their friends. All of them, wrote nearly every bit of information mentioned in the posters.
The program started with interactive session. The session started with Milkyway information and ended up with Earth. Since they were all Diploma Engineering students, they interacted at nearly every slides with their study point of view. 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 session! Questions like – temperature of sun’s core, different types of radiations from sun, beautiful aurora’s formation, etc’ created some interesting debates.
At the end we displayed all the planetary posters on the table. Few of them noted some information from posters. They also offered cold drink at the end, in the piercing heat of 42 degree centigrade.
Both, the teachers and students, were especially keen to start their own astronomy club with our help. It was really good news. We guided them in depth and promised to visit again with more facts and fun.
We acknowledge the gracious support of the following people in making this program a success: Mrs. Monali – a faculty at college, Jigar Darji for set up and photo documentation. We thank them all for their interest.
