After registration, the programme started with the recitation of du’a by Mr. Muhammad Mirza bin Mohd Zaki, followed by a speech from AEROS President of year 2017/2018, Mr. Muhammad Aiman Asyraf bin Mohd Adirus @ Mohd Idrus and also from the head mistress of Malaysia School, Dr. Hazirah Hamzah. Before the program starts, the students were divided into three groups, first group for the year 1 till year 3 students. Second group comprises of year 4 till year 6 and finally the last group for year 7 up to year 11.
After that, the program continued with the first activity, which was an brief explanation on Aerospace delivered by the facilitators. This activity was carried out into few sections that allow participants to learn and ask questions directly to the facilitators. The first section explains what Aerospace is about to open up their mind and enable them to get the whole idea about it. The second section explains about NACA airfoil which are the types of airfoil used for the wing of the airplane. While the third section explained the parts on the plane and the lastly we talked about the forces found on an airplane. The first activity was joined by groups 2 and 3. While the first group which was the year 1 till year 3 students where there were able to play with paper plane. Through this, their interests in this field can be nurtured as they can understand how the airplane can generate lift to fly. In addition, they also learned about the forms of airplane that they had created themselves to leverage their creativity which might also have an effect in its aerodynamic shapes.
Around 12.00 noon, we had our short refreshments while watching the videos provided by the facilitators. The video was about the "Global Space Balloon Challenge" which was organized by the UPM students and was held at Maktab Rendah Sains Mara (MRSM) Pasir Salak. This video aims to nurture the participants' interest and wish to highlight what the UPM Aerospace students have achieved .
Later after that, quiz session was conducted by using the "Kahoot" application which was quite easy and more interesting to play with. The quiz contains 10 questions about what they have learned so far throughout the activities. The students were divided into small groups before the activity started.
The program ended with some prize giving ceremony and some photo sessions with the UPM students and also the Malaysia School students.
