On October 6, 2023, two international interns, Victoria and Valeria, along with a dedicated team from the BBS department and CFC members, conducted the second workshop about the Solar System for students with visual disabilities studying in grades 6, 7, and 8 at Namuna Machindra School in Lagankhel.

In the beginning, the students were provided with a braille card containing information about the sun, planets, satellites, and the solar system. They read this information and then discussed it within their groups. Each student was given a planet to paint, and the materials for making a solar system chart were provided by the international interns and the dedicated team using locally available resources.

Once the students finished painting their assigned planets and other celestial objects, they added them to the solar system chart. The session concluded with each student giving a brief presentation about the part of the solar system they had worked on. Blind section in charge and respective subject teachers made frequent visit managing their time to witness how their children were learning and grasping during the workshop.
