A Class 5 student has been selected for a NASA trip after reaching the final rounds of a Maths Olympiad that started with a regular school maths test

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.
