The activities of level 2 shall further train them with basic space sciences skills, teach advanced scientific methods and extend their horizon beyond normal comprehension. We have seen wonderful minds in action during our interaction with students in school and strongly believe that a further stimulus will help them shine like a star.

Extended Space Club - With the growing popularity of Space Clubs, and varied astronomy education needs to schools, Space has come up with a provision for “Extended Club”, an extension for both Module 1 & 2. Under an Extended Club, a school has the choice to increase the no. of visits of the Space astronomy educators to the school; thought the module sessions remains the same. The need was felt by schools who in-a-way wanted extra classes for students to further strengthen learning of a particular topic.
Following are the important considerations for a school that wish to enroll for an Extended Club :
a)The school shall keep aside an hour for the session
b) The school is keen to increase the frequency of club sessions and want to conduct them with fixed periodicity
Astronomy Day - It is a culmination of the space astronomy club Module 1.It gives students a platform to showcase the activities learnt in the club. This is open to all school students and teachers. This event is organized on special days like parent teacher meeting so as to involve parents and make them aware about the activities of the club and their child’s learning and participation in club activities.
