The Universe in School Programme (UITS) is an interdisciplinary space, astronomy, and STEM education program with complete integration with the class-wise curriculum for all age groups. It is completely based on hands-on, experiential, and exploratory learning pedagogies.
It familiarizes students with astronomy and space sciences through an integrated curriculum-based academic educational program along with the setting up of astronomy labs and a trained educator in school. The program is accompanied by workshops, outreach events, competitions, trips, projects, and parent and teacher engagement and is organized throughout the academic year for all the classes (K–12).
We have derived the concept of establishing UITS in a way that is fully customizable, dynamic, empowering, simple, effective, and sustainable. It is a self-sustaining model, thereby requiring no additional funding from the school.
We strive for bringing new things, ways to popularize science.

चलो आसमान की सैर तुम्हें कराएं कवि की नहीं , विज्ञान की नज़र से गगन दिखाएं गोल सुनहरा चाँद, प्रेयसी के मुख सा धरा से जो बेदाग नज़र आता है, अपने खूबसूरत craters संग और भी निखर जाता है! ध्रुव तारा Polaris कहलाता है, ये सबसे चमकदार नहीं, पर नभ की दिशााएं समझाता है! बहुत नक्शे समझे पढ़े होंगे पर सुनो ज़रा Sky-map हर माह के लिए अलग बनाया जाता है! Albirio किस्मत वाला तारा है खुद नीले रंग का है, सफेद रंगी मित्र को सदा साथ चलाता है! मंगल की छब थोड़ी पीली, थोड़ी लाल दिखती है शनि को घेरता है एक चक्र तो वीनस की चमक अजब चमकती है! आकाशगंगा हल्के सफेद रंग में एक लहर बन नभ में आती है, तो कहीं Andromeda galaxy Pegasus square के पीछे नज़र आती है! पूरा आकाश बंटा है, 12 राशियों में 88 नक्षत्र हैं, ग्रह घूमते हैं एक से दूसरे नक्षत्र में और हमारी किस्मतें बदलते हैं शायद! हसीन है सब, इस नई नज़र से भी !!

Sri Venkateshwar International School would like to place on record its acknowledgement of the impact of the Space Programme immersion within the curriculum. Students look forward to understanding the mystery of space with enthusiasm.
Collaborative activities that develop team spirit and leadership qualities in children are the hallmark of Space. Students have gone beyond the curriculum and examined issues related to Astronomy from the tender age of 5 years. We found the confidence level of students soaring high and the programme has added a lot of joys to their growing years and learning at school.

The Universe is a laboratory available to all. We just need to open our minds and train our senses to observe its wonders and unravel its mysteries. I am sure that the Khagolshalas will open the window of opportunity for our students to be future Astronomers and Space Scientists in India.
