Club Journey
Club Journey

It
was a normal evening in April when I
opened my email just to check messages.
But that day turned out to be really
special. I saw an email saying I was selected
for the Space and Astronomy Club! For a
few seconds, I just sat there smiling in
disbelief.
This club is at the Space Experiential
Learning Center (SELC) based at the
American Center in New Delhi (ACND),
an initiative by the U.S Department of
State's Public Diplomacy and led by
Indo-U.S. Science and Technology Forum
(IUSSTF) in collaboration with Genex
Space which are highly prestigious organ-
isations that work in the field of space
education and innovation. Being part of
something guided by such innovative
institutions felt like a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity for me.

I had given the entrance test for the club
just out of curiosity, not knowing it would
become such an inquisitive journey for
me. When I later received the selection
email, I was over the moon! I’ll always be
thankful to my Science teacher,
Ms. Ekta Thakur, and my school, DAV
Centenary Public School Paschim
Enclave, for giving me this incredible
chance to explore my passion for space.
