Astronomy Club
Founded in 2018, GEC Astronomy Club is a platform for students to explore the Universe. The motto of the club is, 'From Where We Have Come to Where We Are Going'. This hints at the purpose of Astronomy, and gives an opportunity to explore careers in both types of scientific careers, looking at the past as well as looking towards the future of our Earth & Universe.
The Club has organized many events ranging from Talks, Competitions and Online Interactive Activities for the students.
