Satya School in Gurugram hosted a special event themed “Unveiling the Mysteries of Space,” featuring ISRO scientist Dr Ritu Karidhal, known as the “Rocket Woman of India.” The session, part of the lead-up to National Space Day, offered students from across Gurugram a unique opportunity to interact with one of India’s leading space scientists.
Hands-On Space Science Activities
Dr Karidhal, who played a pivotal role in the Mars Orbital Mission (Mangalyaan), shared her experiences and challenges in space exploration, inspiring students with her journey of innovation and determination. The event also included hands-on activities like rocket design, astronaut costume creation, and rover model building, giving students practical insights into space science.
An Inspiring Interaction
“This has not only provided a great opportunity for me to interact with the students, but it has also given me valuable insights into their young minds. I am confident that sessions like these will play a crucial role in nurturing the next generation of innovators and explorers who will continue to push the boundaries of science,” shared Ritu Karidhal during the event.
Manisha Malhotra, Director Principal of Satya School, highlighted the importance of such sessions in bridging classroom learning with real-world applications, aiming to empower students to make their mark in science and technology. The event is part of the school’s ongoing initiative to connect students with experts, enhancing their education beyond the classroom.
