Astronomy club for schools in Bengaluru (Bangalore)
Bengaluru is India’s space city: ISRO is headquartered here, and so is the Indian Institute of Astrophysics. Students grow up near the people who build India’s satellites, which makes a weekly astronomy club an easy argument to win with parents.
Bringing the club to a Bengaluru school
Astris is based in Delhi NCR. Schools in Bengaluru can request the club today: tell us your school, grades and preferred start, and we will confirm educator scheduling for Bengaluru when we reply, along with a quote and the full proposal.
How it works
No cost to the school
The school gives a room and one weekly slot. Astris brings the educators, telescopes, kits, enrolment and reports. Families enrol and pay Astris directly, the way schools already host robotics or debating clubs.
Linked to the syllabus students already have
Every weekly theme is taught through the chapters each band is studying in class: EVS and early Science for Grades 4–6, Science and Geography for 7–9, board Physics and Maths for 10–12. It is never an extra subject.
Real observing, safely
Seven telescope sessions a year: four daytime solar observations through certified filters or projection, and three evening sky-watches with families, with staff present and written parent consent.
Measured, not just enjoyed
An April baseline and a February endline on NCERT-tagged questions, a logbook stamped by the educator, weekly parent notes, progress cards in October and February, and an annual report to the principal.
Bengaluru’s sky, honestly
A central Bengaluru campus sees a bright city sky, but the Moon, the planets and bright stars show well, and the club’s daytime solar sessions work in any season with certified filters or projection.
Bengaluru gets two rainy seasons, the south-west monsoon from June to September and the north-east monsoon around October and November, so the club’s evening sky-watches belong in the clear, dry months from December to April.
Planning the club year in Bengaluru
The club runs from April to February. In each city its evening sky-watches go into the clearest months, and daytime solar sessions and indoor builds carry the rest.
| Months | What the club uses them for |
|---|---|
| December – February | Clearest, coolest evenings: the main sky-watches |
| March – April | Still clear; planets and the showcase |
| June – November | Two monsoons: indoor builds, solar sessions between clouds |
Astronomy around Bengaluru
Jawaharlal Nehru Planetarium
Run by the Bangalore Association for Science Education, and a good pairing for the club’s Year A and Year C sessions.
A strong amateur community
The Bangalore Astronomical Society runs public sky-watches and telescope-making workshops, a natural next step for the club’s most committed members.
Next door to India’s space programme
With ISRO’s headquarters and the Indian Institute of Astrophysics in the city, the club’s scientist interactions and missions sessions have a local hook.
For CBSE, ICSE, IB and the Karnataka State Board schools
The club’s ready-made mapping covers CBSE / NCERT and IB (PYP, MYP and DP); ICSE mapping is available on request, and state-board schools are matched to their own textbooks at onboarding. The club adds no subject, no syllabus and no exam.
