High School Astronomy Club is one of many different creative activities that are offered at UWCSEA. However, the reason I had chosen this was due to my ever increasing interest in Physics which is a subject I take at the Higher Level in the IB course, and with advancements in space being numerous and regular it is definitely an important and curious section of the science. Furthermore, I had never joined a club or a group which focuses on an aspect of education in a student led manner, with supervision. For me, this was a new experience I wanted to take on, while also being interested in it through my physics teacher, who is also the supervisor for this club.
After spending season 3 at the club, I have expanded my knowledge on astronomy and physics in a manner which is fun and interactive. In a collaborative effort with my fellow club members and supervisor we attempted to make a plastic rocket which we would launch on the field. Even though we did not successfully have take off, everyone put in work and it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
