All these talks are available at our YouTube channel - https://www.youtube.com/user/IUCAASciPOP/ During July - September 2018, IUCAA Public Outreach group has conducted 3 basic astronomy workshops, 6 science toys workshops, and 8 campus visits, with an approximate reach to about 1,000 people. Celebration of 150th Anniversary of Helium Discovery A special talk was organised on August 18, 2018, by the Delhi Public School, Kondhwa, Pune, on the occasion of the Science Festival of the school, to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the discovery of Helium, which was discovered on August 18, 1868, from the observations of total solar eclipse seen from India. Sonal Thorve was the resource person, who talked about the second most abundant element, Helium, in the universe, followed by the history of its discovery. Space Science andTechnologyTalk Aspecial talk on Space Science and Technology was organised by the Priyadarshani School, Dighi, Pune, on August 30, 2018, in collaborationwith the Pimpri-Chinchwad Science Park. Sonal Thorve was invited as a resource person. She demonstrated a few science toys, through which the concepts involved in space science and technology could be easily understood. | KHAG L | No. 116 - OCTOBER 2018 | 14
