The main participants were the students of Shree Chandeshwari Secondary School (Simle, Pyutar, Bagmati Rural Municipality-4, Lalitpur). The location is one of the rural parts of Nepal aiming to flow life skills and other skills usable on local resources for outstanding creative output for the students.
The idea behind the trip was started 7 months ago on March 17 when Engineer Roshan Rai and his colleague Suraj Rijal went to a small village for the session called “Engineers & Engineering” with the help of Dikesh Shrestha & Aashish Ghimire. Despite that according to Dikesh Shrestha students of that village are skillful, creative and they design, create and make things themselves. They are more interested in practical applications than theories. And the session was very fruitful for the students who aspire to be engineers, who want to solve their problems themselves by building different things. Moreover, the session handler team brought the Quadcopter and capturing the pictures of the school premises which surprised them to do the event especially for the students by looking at their enthusiasm.
