World Space Week - Preparation Day

Dear All,

Today was preparation day at Udgam school, Thaltej. 10 students are actively preparing a wonderful exhibition in their school to celebrate WSW.

I gave them rough idea and they took up the challenge with great enthusiasm. They are preparing models, posters, timelines, slide shows, etc.

Kudos to USA (Udgam Smart Astronomers) Club.

World Space Week Day 2 - Presentation 2

Dear All,

Supper experience at my second lecture today at CALORX Teacher's University. It is placed far inside near Greenwoods, 200 ft ring road. I never knew this place before. Nice embience.

Once again 2nd & 3rd year B.Ed students but from Rural area :) The best part was when I started my lecture in Gujarati language...and said that I don't know English :( They were all shocked and I couldn't believe what they were expecting from me. Looking to their expressions, when I said ok ok "I will deliver the lecture in english language" their faces turned happy with broad smile :-D

Wow...1st lecture at AGTC, Navrangpura in Gujarati and 2nd lecture for Rural students in English :)

Anyway...once again it was great time with really enthu students. They asked numerous quetions and enjoyed my multimedia presentation with dropped jaw...

Place : CALORX Teachers' University

World Space Week Day 2 - Program 1

Dear All,

It was a very nice beginning in the morning. Nearly 80 final year B.Ed students were eagerly waiting for my lecture cum multi-media presentation at A.G.Teachers' College. They were waiting because I have presented few lectures in the past.

I started with understanding of the sun, the moon, constellations, clusters, galaxies, probable doom day for earth if asteroid or comet collide, day and night, direction, space shuttle and space station and and and many more fundamental space science facts :) And at the end, number of questions by curious students.

The lecture was in Gujarati :)

Place : A.G.Teachers' College
Participants : 80

World Space Week Day 1 - 4.10.2012

Dear All,

Once again, celebrating WSW is like festival to me. I prepared another set of multi-media presentations for new set of audience. The "Journey to the Universe", "R V Alone" and "Accounting of the Universe" are three new presentations I made this time.

Today I began my celebration with Radio - Red FM. I wanted to spread the message to mass and so, I asked RJ Harshil to give a chance for a small presentation. He allowed and journey began.

All present RJs (RJ Devki, RJ Harshil, RJ Aditi...), technical staff and Station head had wonderful time during 1 hour presentation and interactive session. They understood the concept from scratch and we promised each other to meet again. They were also ready to spread one liner astro facts for all during their programs

Place : Red FM studio
Participants : 18

Tanmaye Vyas.
