Today, I took a look at the various telescopes. I saw 6 different telescopes which left me in awe. I could get along with all my CCA-mates and had a wonderful time with them. I also found out about the 2 different types of telescopes: refracted and reflected. In a nutshell, Today was a fruitful and enjoyable session.

Today was a very fruitful session. I learnt about the start of the Universe and until the end of the Universe. The animation was cool and the presenters were loud and clear. They engaged us in the various information and made us think about the question they put forward. I am looking forward to more lectures. :) (Btw, my notes are in pages. I didn't want to type it here.) Notes

Today, as usual, it was a very fruitful session. Today was very interesting. Ian did an interesting presentation, which i s what I wanted in the previous lecture. Today I learnt about habitability, the habitable zone, Fermi-Paradox, the drake equation, Dark Forest Theory and finally, the equation. These topics were all very interesting to learn. I really liked the part where there was a debate. So like after an hour of lecture, it was really relieving to have an activity where we can talk to our group mates. We all had to collaborate and come up with our opinion on the question. I would like to have a Kahoot! Quiz , maybe. Notes

Today, was a very exciting session. The most exciting one so far. The presenter did a good job. She was loud and clear-enough for me to hear. Thank you for the Kahoot! Quiz. If it was just lecture, it would have been so boring. Today I learnt about Black Holes. Basically, Types of Black Holes, How to photograph a black hole, parts of a black hole, Some theories of the white hole, wormholes, and how wormholes could be a potential time machines and finally the Hawking Radiation. These were really interesting to learn. I am looking forward to the next session. Maybe like auroras or dwarf galaxies. My Notes

Today was fun. The presenter did a good job. She was loud and clear. Thank you for the Kahoot! Quiz. If it was just a lecture, it would have been so boring. The topic about Exoplanets was very interesting. I learnt about Examples of Exoplanets, History of Exoplanets and the detecting methods. These were really interesting. Maybe in the future I may detect one. I am looking forward to topic like dwarf galaxies. Notes

Today was a cool session. We learnt about rovers, their purpose and etc. Today was the most fun of all time so far. We got to play and explore with tinklecad by building a rover. The Kahoot! was also nice today. Overall, it was a cool session. The speakers were kind and waited for us to type some points in our notes.
27/4/22
Today we learnt how to go into orbit and return back safely. The opportunity to present build our confidence. Today, we didn't get to play Kahoot!(Sed). I hope next week we would. We also learnt about prograde and retrograde. We got another chance to build a rocket in SFS. Overall, it was a fun session.
4/5/22
It was a very enriching and fun session. I finally did something fun after 4 days of holiday. I learnt how to finally get into orbit and build the satellite. I also learnt how to release the satellite into space.It was nice to meet the presenters again. They did a great job telling us what is a satellite, and the different satellites.
11/5/22
Today's session was so fun. We got the chance to use KSP. It was so interesting. We got to use it on our own and land it. It was especially funny when some us them crashed their rockets. We also learnt about SSTO. Overall, it was a very enriching session. Looking forward to KSP again!
18/5/22
Today's session was enriching. Today, I learnt about three different constellations and I liked listening to the different myths about how these constellations were named. I personally think the session was a bit boring because I am not interested in constellations and the presentations didn't really have a lot of exciting element. Maybe do another Kahoot! next time or include an interactive activity.
6/7/22
Today's session was so fun. I was excited to come back to the CCA after 1 month. Today's topic was interesting and engaging. I really liked the topic today because I have always been interested in the food that astronauts eat and I also like biology. For the nutritions part, the facts were what we learned in Term 1 Health Science. Sadly, there is no Kahoot! today so maybe, include Kahoot! in the next lecture. Overall, it was a fun session.
13/7/22
Today's session was not that fun as much as the other sessions. The first 2 videos were a bit boring. Some of the things were so advanced that I can't even understand. But the first part was the 3rd video.
20/7/22
Today's session was interesting. I didn't know we will actually like learn about stars( specifically the process). I learnt about the different processes/stages, like the red giant, planetary nebula, white and black dwarfs. It was great to have a Kahoot! quiz after a long time. Maybe next time, the presenter could include more visuals like picture and videos to make the presentation more interesting. I am really looking forward to KSP.
27/7/22
Today's session was so fun. This is the most interesting session so far in this CCA. I enjoyed the presentation. We learnt about supernovas, neutron stars and black holes. Thank You Ian for the candy. Next time, the presenter could be a tiny bit louder so that people at the back can hear.
17/8/22
Today's session was a bit boring. Even thought there was Quizizz and videos, the content was a bit boring. We learnt about special and general relativity. I think today's session was a bit boring because the presenter was just reading off the slides.Next time, I think he also could explain more instead of just reading off the slides and talk louder. He can also come up ways to make the session more exciting. Overall, the session was okay.
24/8/22
Today's session was very fun contrary to the previous one. The presenter was loud and clear and made the presentation very interesting. I learnt about NCG, Messier, examples of Deep Sky Objects, types of galaxies and etc. Maybe next time, there could have been less videos or shorter videos so that we could have more time for our group work.
31/8/22
Today's session was very different but fun. It is great that Astronomy Club is giving us the opportunity to present to our own cohort. I think I could have added more visuals and illustrations to help the audience understand better. I would like this lesson to be repeated.

Today's session was very different. It was good to see Mr Tan present. In June, I could not attend the camp. So, I missed out on the fox hunting. But today, I got the opportunity to get to learn about it. I was excited when there was many overseas trips planned but was sad because the secondary ones and two can't go overseas next year. By the way, getting a glimpse of KSP again was nice.
18/1/23
Today, I got to explore more in KSP. I learnt how to build a rocket to get to the moon. Unfortunately, I did not get into orbit. Hopefully, over the weekend, I can learn how to do it. :)
25/1/23
Today. I played around with the things in KSP and build my rocket. I got to launch it and bring it to orbit, at least. However, I did not get the chance to land on the moon today. I will learn how to land the rocket on the moon and will do it. :-)
15/2/23
Today, we learnt about many things, mainly star chart. We drew a star chart and plotted the points that formed the various constellations such as big dipper, cossopeia, etc. I think that there is nothing to improve.

Today was absolutely an amazing and exciting session. I had a lot of fun watching the movie. This was a new experience as this is the first time I got the chance to see a movie. Last time, I wasn't here to watch " Interstellar". The movie was great and I learnt about how dangerous space works are and taking risks are important. The movie was a chance for me to learn many new values and have fun at the same time. I hope that there will be more sessions like this, where we can watch movies.
22/3/23
Today was pretty ok. I think so far, this is one interesting topic. I think this is a good topic to start off this term.
Honestly, Zhi Ler did a good job, making the session fun and interesting. I hope we have more topic or presentation like this and more Kahoot!
3/5/23
Today's session was quite good. The presenters did a good job. I learnt about space exploration --> e.g. The various observatories and etc. I think the videos could have been a bit shorter. I personally thought that the video was quite long and it made me sleepy. Overall, I think today's session was good.
17/5/23
Today, I learnt about Exoplanets, and how we can detect them. It was very enjoyable as it was something new to me. I personally think this topic is quite interesting as it allowed me to think more. Overall, today's session was fun. There could have been more video for explaining the different subtopics, instead of the presenter explaining himself.
28/6/23
It was great coming back from a long break. Today, we did KSP, which was very enjoyable and fun. However, I think the timing was a bit too long. Like 2 hours is a bit too long for KSP. Next time maybe there can be 1 hour of KSP and 1 hour of another activity.
4/7/23
Today's session not bad. I liked how it was about Super Structures. I think it is a pretty interesting topic. I learnt about the various super structures such as Dyson Spheres, Skyhooks, SpaceX Rocket Catch and many more. I think it would have been better if the presenter explained more about the things he told us because there was way too many videos and I didn't understand some of them.
26/7/23
Today's was the most boring session ngl. The content was like very boring. The part about the history of the planets were not bad but as the presentation went on, it really got pretty wordy and the presenter was pretty monotonous. I think maybe it would have been better if there was a kahoot and the presenters were lively. The slides were very wordy until it made me sleep.
23/8/23
Today was actually fun. I learnt about orbit systems, kepler's laws of planetary motion, Eintein's theory of general relativity and special relativity, astrophysics. Presenter was loud enough. He could improve by giving a clearer explanation. He could have added more video to explain kepler's laws because it was the most confusing thing.
10/01/24
It was great doing water rockets and assembling the telescopes. I wish it could have not rained so that we could have done the water rocket outside with water. It would be better if there are more hands-on acitivities like this.
17/01/24
Today's session was great. I really appreciated the fact that Bobby explained the topic really well.
24/01/24
Today's session was decent. We learnt about the Tsiolkovsky rocket equation. We also got to play ksp. It would have been better if we had done water rocket, but the rain ruined it for the second time. The session could have been better if they taught us on something new because we have already learnt about the solar system. Overall, it was okay.
31/01/24
Today's session was nice, I learnt about reflector & refractor telescopes, Chromatic Aberration, Aperture and many more. It would be better if the presenter gave us some time to write notes down cuz he moved on too fast. Other than that, everything is good.
