Grade 10 student of Ashoka Universal School, Ashoka Marg Shaeel Hasepatil recently won laurels for Nashik and the nation by winning the third prize in EUROPEAN Space Agency’s (ESA) Moon Camp Challenge 2021-22. As many as 5649 students from 53 countries worldwide participated in the competition.

The Moon Camp Challenge is an international; Astronomical Moon Settlement Competition organized by ESA and the largest aeronautics and space company Airbus Foundation in partnership with American software giant Autodesk.

Shaeel represented India in the Explorer Category of the challenge and won the third position for his project ‘Kalpana’. India’s representation in this competition was through 44 teams in the non-ESA member category.

“Ashoka’s purpose in giving advanced platforms to young minds is so that the upcoming generations in India can skyrocket and do the unimaginable. Shaeel has done just that and we are extremely proud of him and his mentors at Ashoka Astronomical Observatory for guiding him. I have always believed that to be educated means to have a deeper understanding of self and of the world. I envision every Ashokaite to be a contributor and an achiever at the global platform,” said Chairman of Ashoka Group of Schools, Ashok Katariaji.

“I am very happy that I could even participate in this international competition. It was tough but very rewarding. Winning the competition is the cherry on the top,” said Shaeel on the occasion.

Space is perhaps the biggest mystery and source of fascination for most of humanity. In a one-of-its-kind provision in Nashik, Ashoka helps its students experience and understand ‘space’ unlike before through its Ashoka Astronomical Observatory. The observatory is an endeavor to ignite a passion for space science and astronomy through a year-long course comprising a range of DIY activities, interactive sessions, and sky-watching.

Shaeel has been a member of Ashoka Astronomical Observatory for the past three years. This is where he seeded his passion for astronomy and got answers to his curiosities about space and what lies beyond. He credits his win to his mentors, Mr. Dilip Thakur and Mrs. Archana Yeole, at Ashoka Astronomical Observatory, who handheld him through his journey.

Eminent personalities from the fields of astronomy and space science, such as Er. Apurva Jakhadi (NASA Space Educator), Dr. Girish Pimpale (Renown Astronomer), and Er. Jayant Joshi (Rt. Scientist Engineer ISRO) are advisory members of Ashoka Astronomical Observatory.

The competition required Shaeel to use his creativity and astronomical knowledge to create models to explain how life can be sustained on the Moon. He made these models using the Tinker Cad software taught to him in the Ashoka Astronomical Observatory. Shaeel also showcased exemplary leadership and mentored his 5th-grade teammate, teaching him how to use the software and apply it effectively to bring their ideas to life.

ESA also felicitated the Ashokite at a winner’s webinar, where he interacted with like-minded students from across the globe. A highlight of that webinar was his interaction with ESA’s Senior Astronaut, Sir Frank De Winne.

Shaeel has won many state-level and national laurels in the past. This is his first feat at an international level.

Chairman of Ashoka Group of Schools, Ashok Katariaji, graced the event along with the advisory members of Ashoka Astronomical Observatory. Shaeel was felicitated by Katariaji while the guests of honour, Mrs. Apurva Jakhadi and Dr. Girish Pimpale were felicitated by Secretary of Ashoka Education Foundation, Mr. Shrikant Shukla and Managing Trustee, Mrs. Astha Kataria respectively.

Debjeet, who would be appearing for his board X exams starting from 27th February 2020, has managed to shoulder both - his studies & his shooting practice simultaneously. And he will be leaving for New Delhi for competitions as soon as he completes his examination.  
Tracing his phenomenal journey back to 2015, Debjeet first participated in the Captain Ezekiel championship held in Mumbai. His maiden victory arrived when he secured a third position in an interschool competition at the DSO Air Rifle category.
More victories ensued and Debjeet became unstoppable. With each championship, he drew closer to name and fame. With a gold medal at DSO level in 2016, and then silver and 2 bronze medals in DSSAN, Debjeet was selected for the Pre-national by State association from the 4th west zone, where in it was for the first time that he got selected in 60th National Shooting Championship 2016 held at Pune.

He secured the 4th position at the inter-school competition held at Varanasi, at the state level. He also participated in the Maharashtra state shooting championship held at Mumbai. This was followed by his participation in the 61st National shooting championship held in Kerala in December 2017. It was for the first time that Debjeet got selected for the trials of team India. He was a proud participant in the first season of Khelo India Khelo at New Delhi. He is also the first player from Nashik to represent Maharashtra in Khelo India Khelo.
By the following year, in 2018, the young lad had carved a niche for himself in the world of Rifle Shooting. He not only participated in various selection trials sessions held at New Delhi but also continued to bag gold medals in each interschool district and interschool divisional level competitions. He secured the 4th position by participating in Maharashtra State Shooting championship held at Mumbai. He also participated in National level interschool shooting competition held in Ahmedabad. He was selected for the second time in the Indian Team trials of the 62nd national shooting championship held at Kerala.
The year 2019 brought more victories for the lad from Nasik. The sharp shooter bagged a gold medal in the interschool district and divisional level shooting competition. He secured the 4th place in the 63rd National shooting competition held in Bhopal and for the 3rd time in a row got selected for the trials of the Indian team. Debjeet rose steadily, as he got selected as one of the top 8 finalist shooters for the first time.
Owing to his performance in the Indian National trials in 2019, wherein Debjeet scored 621.6, he was ranked 6th in the Indian team resulting in fulfilling a great dream and desire when Debjeet saw himself being selected for the Indian squad in the youth category 2020. His stupendous records and remarkable achievements which were scanned and reviewed helped him seal his place in the Indian team which he will now proudly represent in the Shooting Competition.
A moment of great honour indeed for all at Ashoka Universal School, Ashoka Marg, Debjeet continues to make our heads held up with pride, even as he continues to be trained by his coach Mr. Abhay Kamble.
