GIIS Ahmedabad’s Shlok Joshi get recognized by IASC for his discovery of the Main Belt Asteroid

“It does not matter what others are doing. It matters what you are doing.”

As per motivational speakers, one who concentrates on their skills, capabilities, and potential can achieve success. GIIS Ahmedabad’s Shlok Joshi is an example who focuses on gaining cognitive knowledge of Science and Space. Shlok took part in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) program to develop his knowledge and clarity of concepts. 

The young scientist Shlok Joshi participated in an asteroid search campaign organized by International Astronomical Search Collaboration (IASC) powered by NASA. GIIS Ahmedabad is proud to share that the preliminary detection report prepared by him has been recognized as a provisional discovery of the Main-Belt asteroid 2022 HH5. It was found in the data provided by Pan-STARRS. He was a member of Team Pioneer representing STEM and Space. 

The IASC is a science program that provides high-quality astronomical data to citizens around the globe. According to IASC, the preliminary detection is the first original observation of a new asteroid. The asteroid is observed for the second time in the next 7 to 10 days and thereafter, the detection is changed to provisional status by the Minor Planet Centre (MPC). 

Sharing his experience, “STEM classes by GIIS Ahmedabad were well planned and executed. My interest in STEM and Space developed after attending these classes. I would also like to thank Ms. Hetal Vora ma’am, my mentor, for putting extra effort into enhancing my talent.” Besides this, Shlok has also proved his mettle in academics by scoring 80% in the annual exams. GIIS Ahmedabad provides excellent opportunities to explore their talents, apart from giving them an excellent edge in academics.

Mr. Caesar D’silva, the Principal of GIIS Ahmedabad congratulated Shlok and said, “We are extremely proud of the champ and best wishes to him! The STEM classes in GIIS Ahmedabad have been fruitful for all the students who have joined the course. I hope other students also take advantage of these STEM classes, develop their skills, and make us proud like Shlok."
