Students learn to build telescopes

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.
