The Rotary E-Club of Metro Dynamix, RID 3201, recently funded and extended the reach of Project Vinveli by providing training to construct telescopes to students in 24 government schools in rural Coimbatore. “This hands-on telescope building will inspire a new wave of learning and exploration for the students,” said club president Reshma Ramesh. The project cost ₹3.12 lakh.
In April 2023, the club had conducted a similar workshop for the students of a government school in Thudiyalur, a suburb in the city. Technical experts from the Open Space Foundation guided them in constructing the telescope.
