Yes, it will be.

Thank you very much for the links!

Going through some of the links on these pages, it got me thinking in what way I can build a project that will reach maximum students. One of the shortcomings of the present projects is that students have to visit these places(which is not possible for many students). It would be more useful if it was the otherway round i.e. there was a way to bring the project to the students. It is an interesting problem to solve.

Why do you think that?

Because not all kids are able to visit the parks. My family business in India started a space-themed park because only affluent students were able to visit NASA. So it was decided that there has to be a local park for those students who will not be able to travel to the USA. Now, this park we built is in one city, but what about those students from other cities who cannot visit the park we have built? They will be missing out on the fun aspect of education.

I think there has to be a way to bring this experience to all students irrespective of where they live and what their background is.

I am in the UK. I occasionally visit a local university. I see some really heartbreaking differences between haves and have-nots. There are few students that I saw at the university who you can immediately recognise as not from well-to-do families(they form their own group). For them, even though they are taking university education(funded by the government) they still feel they do not belong to the place. It is too late for them to blend with the crowd. If somehow I am able to provide confidence to non-affluent students from an early age, that they can afford the same facilities as other students then that will be something to be proud of.
