As part of GAM clebrations, AstroSoc India decided to have outreach programms at remote villages to raise awareness of Astronomy and importance of dark skies among Govt. school students. These Kids are not the Ipod/Tablet users and find happiness in the smallest of things! The curiosity and attentiveness they showed during our workshop and field trip is commendable! Looking at planets through the scope and identifying constellations and stars not just in English but also in local language (Telugu)! We also educated them about plastics and how dangerous they can be for our atmosphere we also emphasised the importance of saving water as the village they live in is facing water issues.To end it all we provided them with a hearty Dinner treat and saw them off only to be joined by enthusiastic participants and the night continued!
