What started as a quiet class was suddenly abuzz with questions looking for what is AMR, what tool are we gonna use, how big is it, how easy to use will it be and more?
Then came the exploration the wow, amazement and the class was completely engaged in looking for light to view their samples, the girls asking questions about careers, seeking guidance about what all we could view using this tool.
The boys enquiring about how the sunlight view differs from the tubelight view and more.
Thanks to Aarth SInghal and Angad Ahuja for all their help as Teaching Associates from enabling the workshops to collecting the questionnaires, photography and more....
Indebted to Mahima Mehra for this wonderful opportunity and for taking the Foldscope far into the Himalayas specially in the Drass sector.
