ABOUT
We are getting ready to take off for a cosmic adventure in learning!
India’s Chandrayaan-3 mission, aiming for a historic lunar soft landing, captivated global attention. If successful, India will join the moon-landing club, following the US, Soviet Union, and China. As Chandrayaan-3 gears up for its lunar touchdown on August 23, 2023, Rishihood University brings a unique opportunity for high school students to wonder, deliberate, discover, question, and witness the historic landing.
This exclusive event aims to inform students about moon exploration; provide them a platform to question and wonder about the world beyond Earth, inform them about the space industry and where is it headed, what kind of career opportunities it brings, and encourage design thinking.
