🏫 Why Every Indian School Should Have an Astronomy Club
In the age of space missions and AI-driven satellites, astronomy clubs in schools are not just extra-curricular — they are essential.
With India’s rising interest in space (thanks to ISRO), and NEP’s push toward experiential learning, setting up a school astronomy club with stargazing and telescope sessions is the perfect step toward future-ready education.
And with Astrophire telescopes, this journey is easy, affordable, and inspiring.
