It is a matter of pride that Sukhman Singh and his team’s design representing the Lunasat along with the country and its culture has been featured in the GLEE Newsletter. Their design got selected through Monthly Media Hunt organised by GLEE Team.
School Principal, Dr. Vandna Shahi extolled the team members for their achievement and wished them good luck for their future endeavours.
The young innovators participated in Global Lunar Exploration for Everyone (GLEE), a workshop event, inspired by NASA's Apollo mission. Thousands of schools across the world took part in the workshop. BCMites made their mark by securing their place among the 212 selected teams. They were chosen after being evaluated on the basis of their innovative ideas, knowledge, life skills, community cooperation and experience. The Great Lunar Expedition for Everyone is an international student mission which intends to send hundreds of miniature spacecraft called Luna-Sats to surface of the Moon to conduct scientific and technological experiments through hands-on participation by students from every member country of the United Nations by 2023. Its mission is to bring STEM education opportunities to anyone interested in learning.
The selected team of four students of the school, Sukhman Singh, Anurav Saini, Manleen Singh of XII Science and Ankit Pandey of Class X, will be mentored by GLEE program staff. The participants will be provided guidance through out the process of designing, building, testing, launching and data gathering. They will receive a LunaSat kit and have access to the modules containing base version of the LunaSat. It will have an area for them to add more sensors from an approved list provided by the GLEE Science Team. They will also be able to add code to the LunaSats for these sensors allowing them to carry out their own lunar science mission.
Considering it a great achievement at International Level, the School Principal, Dr. Vandna Shahi applauded their accomplishment wholeheartedly and congratulated team mentor Ms. Neena Tiwari and her group for adding one more feather in BCM Dugri's cap. She also wished them all the success for their future endeavours. Ms. Neena Tiwari, HOD Science, quoted that Our team firmly believes that determination and commitment bring accomplishment and success.
