Students studied geographical features, environmental\nproblems, climatic sciences, meteorological changes and results of natural phenomena\nand disasters like deforestation, glacier recession and coastline changes.\nDuring the process, they gained exposure of tools such as Google Earth, and learn\nabout orbital mechanics and mapping. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To inspire and motivate the\nstudents, certificates were given by Ms. Nita Arora, Principal, Sri\nVenkateshwar International School and Ms. Vineet Tomar, Middle Wing HM, Sri\nVenkateshwar International School.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sally Ride EarthKAM event was conducted at Sri Venkateshwar InternationalSchool A one-day Sally Ride EarthKAM event was conducted at Sri Venkateshwar InternationalSchool, Dwarka Sector- 18 on April 9, 2019under theUniverse In The School (UITS)program ofSPACE India.
