All of the above activities were conducted successfully except the special morning assembly and the launch competition that too because, it has been raining heavily since the morning. Students of grade 8th and above participated in the lecture events. In total 131 students participated in the event.
Total 9 teams of three students each made rockets. Due to bad weather conditions we could not launch any of them. We have share quiz link in all the class groups and have told the students to register on the same. All the students enjoyed the entire session and, in a nutshell, it was a successful event.
