Siya Narale is a 9-year-old girl who is interested in helping the kids to learn how ISRO works and so develops an app.
They always say that age is never a barrier and this 9-year-old kid has also proved it. Siya Narale, 9, has always shown her interest in coding and her interest made her come up with an educational app that is going to help kids to know how the ISRO builds its space rockets.
The app from this girl, who studies in Tip Top Convent in Nagpur, not just let you see but also simulates how a rocket is built, assembled, launched, and then how it lands on the surface of Moon. She has been able to do this all because of her training on coding through White Hat Jr., which is an online platform that allows the kids like Siya to learn how coding is done. The aim of this platform is to prepare kids for their future with some great skills.
The app developed by Siya allows the kids to play with different parts of the rocket. It let the kids see each part of the rocket separately and try to arrange them in a correct order just like a game. And in such a way the kids understand how the basic space technology works. But the app is not just going to help them learn about the rockets, it is also going to spark an urge to join the astrophysics field and then ISRO.
Siya in an interview said that she was really inspired by the televised launch of the recent Chandrayaan-2 rocket to create this app. Particularly, she was impressed by the women scientists and engineers who were a part of the Chandrayaan-2 mission.
