The American University of Iraq-Baghdad (AUIB) is always keen to support various social initiatives aligned with its goal of developing the education sector in Iraq, including primary schooling. AUIB was pleased to cooperate with “International College University School,” which requested a lecture for its fifth-grade students on the genesis of planet Earth and its unique formation within our solar system.
Dr. Ioannis Haranas, Associate Professor of Astrophysics at AUIB, visited “International College University School,” where he met fifth-graders and engaged them in a presentation on the genesis of our solar system, its evolution, and the formation of its planets, exposing the students to various theories on the unique structure of our planet Earth, and the role of Water in it. Dr. Haranas provoked the youngsters’ curiosity, interacting with them and answering their questions, giving them a special educational experience.
