STEM & Space Asteroid Search Campaign
We have a discoverer among us! Kudos to Grade 12 student, Aditya Arjun Anibha for making provisional discoveries of asteroids from the May-June 2020 STEM & Space Asteroid Search Campaign!* Out of several asteroids that were listed as preliminary discoveries, 11 have been confirmed as provisional asteroid discoveries by the Minor Planet Catalog (MPC) and will be formally recorded in the catalogue. Out of these 11, Aditya has made two Provisional Asteroid discoveries.*STEM & Space conducted a highly specialized month-long project in May-June 2020, in collaboration with the International Astronomy Search Collaboration (IASC). Students were trained and guided to look through real images from the Pan Staors telescope in Hawaii and search for asteroids under this project. Asteroid discoveries with provisional status are maintained in the MPC database for many years until there have been sufficient observations to determine the orbit fully. That process typically takes 6-10 years, at which point the asteroid is numbered and catalogued by the International Astronomical Union. Numbered asteroids can be named by their citizen scientist discoverers.

Spelling Bee
Congratulations to Aisha Jain (MYP 1) and Kunsh Tyagi (DP1) for winning this edition of the Spelling Bee.The competition presented before the students had a simple structure. The preliminary rounds were conducted as a quiz using pre-recorded video for the audio of the words. This audio was played to the students while they attempted to write the correct spelling of the words. All the responses from the students were collected and checked by the organizers and finally, two students, from each grade, were chosen through this round.
In the final round, participants were given a unique word that they had to discuss and spell on the spot. Each pair was given a chance until all except one team had lost their two lives. The last team standing was the winner. *Traditional spelling bees are competitions where participants are required to spell a word. If they spell it correctly, they are safe but if they get it wrong the participant is eliminated. The primary objective of this competition is to get students involved in engaging activities while having fun and of course learning new words.
