Finding answers to the mysteries
of universe!
Our Junior Space Enthusiasts of Classes I to IV had an amazing time
during the SPACE workshops held in the month of February. There
were different set of workshops for students of different age groups.
In Lift Off workshop, Participants of Class I were introduced to the
idea of rockets as a space vehicle and its working principle. They
then enjoyed launching their own pop rocket by using easily available
kitchen material i.e. Eno and water, as rocket fuel.
In SPACE Satellite workshop, students were introduced to the concept
of ‘satellites’ in a very innovative manner. Students investigated how
they make our lives simpler as they have a wide range of applications
from ship navigation to watching TV at home. Children acted as ‘chief
engineers’ on a space mission and assembled mini satellites with
defined parts!

In Our Star: The Sun workshop, students investigated the shape
of the Sun as round and understood all stars are similar in shape.
They explored the relative size of the Sun and the Earth through an
interesting team activity.
Students had real fun attending Mission to Mars workshop wherein
they understood why travelling to mars is the next big mission for
humans. There was another interesting workshop on Cosmic fire in
which the students unraveled the mystery of shooting stars and why
are they called so. Kids enjoyed the sessions to the fullest and were
very happy to take their own kits back to home and to share their
learning to others.
