Demonstrations and discussions with students

The day programme was successful to create an interest but the observation session was ruined by cloudy night sky. Very few chances grasped to observe moon in between the clouds.

The outreach team organized a short meeting with teachers about the practical teaching methods on science. Mr. Prabodh Pravakar Risal (President-Espro Foundation, Principal-Eureka High School, Kathmandu) presented his experiences and explained the practical science teaching methods. Mr. Sudeep Neupane shared the idea of Galileo Teachers Trainning Programme (One of the cornerstone project of IYA2009) to prepare well trained teachers around the Globe. The whole programme was facilitated by Social Activist and President of School Management Committee of Bhawani Vidhyapeeth, Mr. Bhola Nath Sharma.
