8 Activities
8.1 Current Activities

Astronomy Night is an interactive event that intends to develop interest

regarding astronomy and visualize the celestial bodies and space surrounding us. It offers session in collaboration with astronomy societies where participants can see the stars and planets via lens of the telescope. The event proves to be a great opportunity for inquisitive minds and their questions about space exploration and the strange phenomena that prevail in this vast universe of ours.

TechTalk is a regular feature which includes guest speaker session (s)

by motivated engineers, young scientists and researchers in a scientific field of interest. Science Society aims to focus not just the elementary subjects and fields but also encompasses the much neglected and classified dimensions of scientific horizon. Society has also included student-industry interactions on this canvas to promote the understanding of applied dimensions of work.

Meet the Scientist is a bi-yearly event series that provides vistas into the
lives of infinitely erudite Pakistani intellectualists, who have strived for knowledge with their lives. It is a unique opportunity for young students to gain knowledge from such worthy scholars who have devoted their life to science, as it puts an interesting spin on conventional education techniques as it tries to make students realize what challenges they are to meet in the real world.

Sytek is an annual Intra NUST Science Olympiad. It aims to infuse a touch of creativity and nurture
the young talents of Pakistan in a setting that challenged them to think outside the box. The competitions test both tested both the scientific standing and innovation of the participants; while providing them an opportunity to interact and socialize. General competitions includes designing structures, strategy based quests, quizzes etc.

Future Plans

Industrial Expo, as the name suggests is a platform where industry opens its
window to NUST academia. It consists of stalls, lead by Technical and HR personals from a range of companies and provides an ideal juncture for informal interaction to take place between students and professionals. It also provides a platform for the students to showcase their endowments in the different fields of science. More over it provides the budding professionals to grasp Job/Internship opportunities. This exhibition also aims to be a stepping stone towards recognition of NUST alumni and to develop a long term interaction with NUSTs current students

All Pakistan Energy Summit is an annual event being planned by the society, keeping in view
the energy crisis and large scope for research and development in the sector. Society plans to converge diverse opportunities to optimize energy in fields of alternative fuels, renewable energy, construction design and materials, transportation and many others through exchange of research knowledge and practice capabilities of different pathways.

TEDxNUST, TED is a nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. Its a

conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, and Design. TED believes passionately in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and ultimately, the world. So we're building here a clearinghouse that offers free knowledge and inspiration from the world's most inspired thinkers, and also a community of curious souls to engage with ideas and each other. TEDx programs program gives communities, organizations and individuals the opportunity to stimulate dialogue through TED-like experiences at the local level.

NUST Science Newsletter, planned to be a monthly printed feature, it would be a few pages
issue distributed among society members free of charge. The newsletter will briefly include about the latest technological updates across the globe, upcoming conferences / symposiums and competitions. The newsletter would be a connecting media for the members and would cater their thirst for knowledge.

NUST Science Magazine, an annual society publication would include articles, society events
coverage, interviews and reviews on industry and Pakistani market. 15

9.2 Tech Talk on Space Vehicle Simulation

Space Sciences, i.e., astronomy, astrophysics, astronautics, etc. have been relatively neglected and consequently underunder developed fields in Pakistan. However, due to recent rising interest in this field, resources are gradually being provided and institutes being set up. It is a small effort on our part to cater to pa this interest and we hope that it will not only be enlightening but also enjoyable and

interactive, shared Osama Hasan, Society Dr. Sarwar Naqvi, Professor and former HOD of Aeronautics & Astronautics, at Institute and Space Technology Islamabad was the guest speaker for the maiden session TechTalk, held at SCME on January 7, 2011. The invited invite speaker, with his over 32 years experience at NASA Johnson Space Center, Houston in the Division of Guidance, Navigation and Control of the U.S. Space Shuttle, captivated audience with his informative talk. Secretary. Participants were enlightened on topics related to Space Shuttles, like the forces acting on the space shuttle during lift-off, the components ce lift and parts of a space shuttle, the trajectory of a space shuttle as it is launched into the Vacuum, simulation of a space shuttles flight, calculations involving the space shuttle, etc, which are well received by audience.
