Speaking of the power of early development, we are reminded of the Chichewa proverb that when translated into English means, “Catch them young”. The adage instills the need to engage kids to enrich their minds so they grow sharper and carry constructive bearings in their physical, cognitive and socio-emotional personalities. Cosmic Jaunt, an upcoming space exploration camp, aligns with this belief. The camp was started in 2018 to promote interest in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) among children. But can two-year-olds articulate their interest in STEM? To that, Suvriti Dhawan, manager of the event says, “They can at least be introduced to new concepts”.
