The Programme ACS-02I
“Astronomy for Intermediate”
ACS - 02I (Module-II) the next step has been designed keeping in mind to further stimulate the spirit of enquiry in the young minds which have already been opened to futuristic ideas. The activities 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 shine them like a star.

The fee includes Club Tuition fees, Astro – Kit cost for each member student and other support material for the school / club; Entrance Fee; Equipment Rental like LCD Projector & Laptop Computer (for Night Observations camp); Lodging & Boarding, transport & Food (For Night Observations camp).
