Here Kids get chance to shake hands with Astronomy in a similar fashion like professional astronomers do - out in night sky. A perfect blend of activities and experiments to ensure learning by involvement and better scientific temperament are the key features of Space Club.

Right from learning basics of solar system to go up to the exploration of universe via galaxies after galaxies and from experiments in the classroom / school grounds to setting up high end telescopes in night sky away from city limits to explore the cosmic dance, is what Space club kids experience.
