Ayesha, a 10-year-old student from Haryana, is preparing for a journey far beyond her classroom. The Class 5 student has been selected for an educational visit to NASA after making her way through the Mittsure Mathematics Olympiad, which reportedly attracted more than one lakh participants.
What makes her story stand out is how simply it began. Ayesha took the Olympiad test at her school in Bhakhri village in Mahendragarh district, treating it like another academic competition. She cleared the first stage and continued advancing until the competition took her to the national level and eventually to a final interview in Jaipur. The Times of India first reported her story.
