concluded today i.e. 10th March but started investigating my assignments from the date these
assignments were given. I conducted my outreach activity on 7th March in Prativa Secondary
School, Pokhara-3, Nadipur (where I study) and 8th March in Bal Mandir Secondary School,
Annapurna-3, Kaski (where I was a former student). I made some demonstrative sundials and
planispheres physically, sufficiently engaged in learning the mechanisms of sundials and
planispheres so that I could provide more information as far as possible, made presentations
about these devices , presented at schools by notifying students(as per their interest), and made
possible efforts to attract young minds towards astronomy. I made video reports during my
outreach(presentations)and collected letters of appreciation from the respective schools which
are attached to this outreach report form submission. Despite my exam time running now, I
managed to do this assignment. I informed students, collected digital equipment(projector,
laptop, etc.) with the support of family, friends and school teachers. Though showing the
planisphere in day time was difficult because of its significance in night time, I presented it to
students and ensured that they all understood about it.
OUTCOMES: Through this outreach, I learnt a lot about the time measuring devices like
sundials, stars’ composition in the night sky through the planisphere, their working mechanisms
and uses. I shared my knowledge excessively to the students during my outreach. There were
40/50 students from each school attending my presentation. I reached all of them through contact
to both the schools.As per my experience, they learnt about planisphere and sundial as I did. I
found them to be excited about astronomy and concentrating during the presentation. I provided
them sample papers for constructing devices on their own, explained how to make sundials and
planispheres and provided links to know more about these astronomical devices. I think I was
able to attract those schools towards providing students with astronomical knowledge and
facilities.
LEARNINGS: This outreach program was my individual work despite support. As Already
mentioned, this outreach program was very helpful in making me learn much about astronomical
tools and instruments. Everything about my devices, presentations, and video reporting went
well. But due to a problem in time management, I had to conduct my outreach in the next school
during the holiday. I apologize for this inconvenience. Luckily, I learnt more about time
management and planning.
