Prog: 67, 25-08-2009, Girls' Polytechnic College, Navrangpura, Ahmedabad










Hello!

Here’s a report on the 67th TAS Program.

Today we visited Girls Polytechnic, Navrangpura, Ahmedabad.

As usual, we were accorded a warm welcome by the students and the authorities excitedly awaiting the program.

The banner display of 4’ x 3’ was set up for the students to explore the mysteries of the solar system & monthly star charts at their own pace. And we watched them peruse the information and discuss the same with their friends.

The session started with Solar system slide show. During the interactive session that followed, nearly the 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! Many different questions created interesting debates. Some exceptionally bright students answered my questions with amazing clarity.

All the girls were thrilled to know about some secrets of the subject and came forward with an idea to start astronomy club in their college. It was great. I assured them from support from our side.

We acknowledge the gracious support of the following people in making this program a success: Ravindra Ambala, Prakash, Mayur. We thank them all for their interest.
