Shree Swaminarayan Gurukul International School, Nagpur, hosted an intellectually stimulating Space and Satellite Workshop as a part of Astro Club, for Classes VII and VIII, seamlessly blending scientific rigour with experiential learning.

The session was led by Ms. Poorva, Astrophysicist & NASA citizen scientist from Mumbai, who elucidated complex themes such as zero gravity, extraterrestrial life, the Milky Way, black holes, and exoplanets with remarkable clarity, leaving students both informed and inspired.

The workshop’s defining feature was its hands-on CubeSat development module, where nearly 200 students, organised into 30 groups, constructed functional satellite prototypes. Under the guidance of Mr. Thanush from Delhi and Mr. Rahul from Hyderabad, Space Engineers associated with ISRO projects, students witnessed their models capturing real-time data on GPS, atmospheric pressure, temperature, and humidity, effectively bridging theory and application.

The programme’s smooth execution was ensured by all the staff members. Reverential thanks are also extended to Param Pujya Shri Muktvallabhadasji Swami Ji for his divine blessings.

The session concluded with the distribution of participation certificates to all students.
