space into reality.

Due to the fasting month,the programmes selected were more inclined towards non physical activities.Utilizing the newly improved National Planetarium website, Space Quiz was put online andopened to school kids from eight to ten years old. They were given a chance to answer a setof ten questions related to space exploration and World Space Week. The winner was chosenfrom those with the most correct answers. They were then evaluated by their creative sloganwhich accompanied each entry. They needed to complete “In the next 50 years, Malaysia willbe…” in less than 15 words. The best and most meaningful slogan created that day wasdeclared the winner on the next day. This was a good reflection onhow often kids are using the website and another encouragement forthe kids to seek answers via the internet. The slogan and questionsposted online did not only ignite awareness in space science but also about the national spirit,since Malaysia reached its 50 th anniversary of independence on the 31 st August 2007. For thewhole week, one daily winner will be given prizes and admission tickets to our planetarium.Apart from that, in order to select the Malaysia representative to the APRSAF drawingcompetition, a Poster Drawing competition was also held online under the theme of ’50 years inSpace’. The winning posters were then sent to Bangalore and were competing against othercountry’s drawings.In order to create awareness amongst the general public, brochures and pamphlets were distributed to our visitors.The brochures, which contained information about World Space Week, were helpful in creating awareness andnurturing space science among the Malaysians.Last but not least, on the 10 th of October, the first Malaysian was launched into space. It was a historical event and willalso be marked as the great success after 50 years of our independence.3.3.10 PakistanQuiz CompetitionLocation: SUPARCO HQs/ IST Islamabad, PakistanNovember 7, 2007: Quiz CompetitionOrganization: SUPARCO/ISTDeclamationLocation: SUPARCO/ISTNovember 8, 2007:Islamabad, PakistanDeclamationOrganization: SUPARCO/IST24
