Reaching for the Moon: Lessons from the Chandrayaan Missions

Can you make it snow in Tamil Nadu? Valarmathi thinks so! When the district collector of Theenkulam, Tamil Nadu, announces a science fair to celebrate the success of Chandrayaan-3, ten-year-old Valarmathi dreams big. Her plan? Create snow to cool down her sweltering hometown! With her best friend Siva, Valarmathi sets out to make actual snow, and she's convinced that her idea is bold, innovative and ribbon-worthy. But just like some of the early Chandrayaan missions, her experiments don't always go as planned. In fact, they fail-spectacularly. Join Valarmathi on an adventure of chasing BIG dreams, learning from epic flops and discovering that failure might just be the coolest part of success!
