So, here we introduce a well-knitted 10-day Astronomy program, with experts and leading astronomers & educators. A series of demonstrations, activities, do it yourself, fun worksheets, use of software and apps, quizzes and much more on our specially designed online platform!
Air - An invisible Power

Moon Walk
Overview
Men from Earth have walked on the moon, returned back safely on Earth by understanding the concept of gravity and how it works on different celestial objects. In this session, participants will understand about gravity. They will learn that the gravity on moon is 1/6th of that of Earth. To understand this concept, participants will perform moonwalk activity.
Space Man
Overview
Participants will be introduced to astronauts as humans that travel to space. They will explore what they wear in space i.e. space suits. They will discover the significance of some parts of the space suit and then play a fun team activity where they will dress up their own astronauts!
Layers of the Earth

Light and Shadows
Overview
The purpose of this lesson is to provide participants with a foundational understanding of light by enabling them to explore how light interacts with different objects and to discover relationships between light and shadow. Participants will be shown an engaging presentation where they explore the role of light in seeing and formation of shadows.
Magnified Universe and Sky Observation
Overview
The sky above us is full of mysteries and enigma. To unravel and find answers to these far-off objects we need instruments to help us. Telescopes comes to our rescue and provide us a magnified view to these objects. The session intends to make participants familiar about telescopes and its usage to bring the far-off world closer to us. Participants will observe the marvel of the evening sky, the moon through a software to get a closer view of our celestial neighbor along with its features.
