Astronaut Camp Chattogram will be held on February 10, for the first time in the port city of Chattogram. This event will be held at WASA Campus Central Auditorium of the Premier University in collaboration with the Department of Computer Science and Engineering of the Premier University, Chattogram. Online registration has started to participate in the event.
This camp will be held jointly by Bangladesh Innovation Forum, Premier University and Space Innovation Camp with the participation of the students aged 4 to 14 years. This camp has been arranged to encourage children and teenagers in space science and to inform them about various aspects of space.
According to the organizers, the whole day event will include space talk about Apollo mission, Mars rover, moon rover, as well as making model rockets with pen, making robots based on space, VR base astronaut training and quiz competition. Apart from this, as a special surprise, there is an astronaut photo booth where children and teenagers can take pictures wearing astronaut dresses.
President of Bangladesh Innovation Forum Ariful Hasan Apu said about the arrangement: “Students of our country have a lot of interest to know about space science. What is happening in space, how do astronauts float in space? How long do astronauts stay there? What is their role in space exploration? Our organization is mainly to answer such unknown questions. We believe that such a program will increase their curiosity about space science and in terms of that knowledge, it will play an important role in their academic studies as well.”
