Imagine your child walking through the gates of India's elite space centre, guided by real scientists, watching rockets soar in simulations, and exploring the control rooms where history is made. Then picture them tracing ancient carvings in Mahabalipuram, solving riddles among stone temples, and spinning clay or painting traditional art at DakshinaChitra. This isn’t just a trip — it’s a journey that blends future and past, science and soul. Confidence, curiosity, and creativity come alive, all in one unforgettable experience.
INTRODUCTION TO THE PROGRAM: Step into the future while reconnecting with the past! This exciting three-day experiential journey from Bangalore to Sriharikota and Chennai is a transformative blend of space science, cultural heritage, architecture, and artistic traditions. From visiting the prestigious Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SHAR) to exploring DakshinaChitra and Mahabalipuram, students experience a rare combination of STEM learning and human history, designed to inspire curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking. |
OBJECTIVE: This program is designed to expose students to India’s premier space research centre while fostering a passion for science and technology, deepening their understanding of South India’s cultural and architectural heritage, building essential 21st-century skills through hands-on learning, and encouraging reflection on the connection between scientific progress and cultural identity. |
WHY IT MATTERS: This program enables students to go beyond textbooks and witness how India shapes the future of space technology while celebrating its deep-rooted past. By directly engaging with scientists, historical artefacts, and cultural performances, students develop a well-rounded worldview that strengthens their academic understanding and emotional intelligence. |
ABOUT THE PROGRAMME: A 3-day journey starting from Bangalore, this programme takes students to Sriharikota's SHAR centre, followed by cultural immersion in DakshinaChitra and a visit to Mahabalipuram's ancient monuments.
