Hariharan, a class 10 student from the Kannagi Nagar resettlement colony, had an unique experience on Tuesday. He learned how to make Femto Satellites, which are small satellites of very low mass. Twenty other children like him from Kannagi Nagar took part in the free workshop held at the Abdul Kalam People Welfare Association’s premises in the locality. “I study at the Government Higher Secondary School in Kannagi Nagar. I have dreamt of making a satellite that can help farmers. I was elated when I learnt how to make a small satellite that can help provide live data for studies on agriculture, ultraviolet radiation, wind speed, global warming and ozone depletion,” he said.
