Why should your Child enroll
in this course ?

Explore the wonders of the night sky in our course that combines science and math with the magic of astronomy. Through storytelling, field trips, stargazing, games, and hands-on experiments, kids will grasp key concepts in physics and mathematics like optics, light, motion, forces, algebra, geometry and trigonometry. Join us to spark curiosity and build a solid foundation in these subjects through our unique and engaging pedagogy.

• To strengthen physics and math concepts through astronomy, setting a solid foundation into research and innovation.
• To develop scientific temper and rational thinking by learning the scientific method that involves observations, hypothesis building, experimentation, and result analysis.
• To build scientific devices to probe the skies, and learn the crucial skill of documenting various celestial objects across different seasons of a year.
• To develop life skills that involves team building, science communication, and also sharpening of observational skills by way of mapping patterns and locating celestial objects in the sky and also to handle telescopes.

what will your child learn ?

Positional Astronomy

Observations of stars, planets, comets, meteors, satellites on how to locate them, understanding their motion across the sky. Students will be tracking the sun, the moon and the planets through the course of the year.

the science of celestial objects

Understanding planets and moons in great detail and their formation. Sessions on specific topics like life cycle of a star, big bang theory, black holes, space explorations, Indian space research and many more

astrophysics

Understanding light, optics, forces and motion, orbital motions, different geometry of orbits, gravitational laws, basics of rocket science and more. Some critical Math concepts like geometry, trigonometry will be covered.

live stargazing sessions

No matter how much we learn about stars, planets and other celestial objects, see them in pictures, nothing can beat the experience of looking at them live with our naked eyes and through binoculars and telescopes.
