atmosphere, a field trip to the planetarium, and an exciting stargazing workshop.
As part of the workshop students were taken on a field trip to ‘Jawaharlal Nehru Planetarium’ where they
explored and gained knowledge about past space missions and how we got to know what we currently do
about Astronomy. Part of what they learned was about how India currently has 3 dome projectors and the
planetarium has one of them. Following which the students saw the dome show and learned about the
beginning of the universe.
During the stargazing event the students were able to see stars through the professional equipment that
was brought to the school. The students even observed Jupiter through the telescopes. Each child was able
