Hello,
Here’s a report on the 56th TAS School Program.
Today we visited St. Joseph school at Vijapur, District : Mehsana, State : Gujarat.
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 was organized for the first time with huge (4’ x 3’) banners of planets and star charts in Gujarati (local) language. The session started with ‘Journey to Space’ show. During the interactive session that followed, the Solar and Saturn’s 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 – who was the first person to go to space, How hot the sun is, etc’ created some interesting debates. Some exceptionally bright students like Anand answered my questions with amazing clarity and was awarded prizes at the end of the presentation.
The program ended with Saturn observation. They were particularly amazed to see ring-less Saturn in Leo. Both, the teachers and students, were especially keen to have us come again to give them a deeper understanding.
The capacity of auditorium was limited to 200 only, so we had to make 7 shows and interactive sessions to cover nearly 1400 students. The school has hostel facility too, where nearly 800 students were staying.
We acknowledge the gracious support of the following people in making this program a success: Pratham Ambala, Neel Shah, Ravindra Ambala, Nikul. We thank them all for their interest.
