SPACE AND ASTRONOMY
We, a group of Grade 11 IB DAIS students, came together to create the Space and Astronomy Club to feed our growing curiosity
about the infinite world beyond this pale blue dot we call home.
POSITIVE PEACE AND CULTURE CLUB So far, we have given presentations based on numerous topics, conducted interactive quizzes about astrophysical phenomena and
engaged in debates about the ethics of space. We continually immerse ourselves in discussions about the Boltzmann Brain Paradox,
Our club activities aim at creating a sound understanding of both Positive and Negative peace in the context of the contemporary relativity in different frames of reference, and 2022's Physics Nobel Prize in Quantum Physics and Photon Entanglement.
