Space Science
is one of the multidisciplinary domains closely associated with basic sciences
and their applications. It is a sector with a high R&D output and is
expected to grow into a trillion dollars segment in the coming years,
generating wide job opportunities in the field. But in India, the majority of
schools provide minimal to no exposure to modern astronomy and Space sciences
mainly due to the limited access to experts and resources. Aspiring to bridge
this gap, Space-e-fic is a startup focused on making the next-generation
space-ready by incorporating state-of-the-art technology so that students are
ready to tackle more complex challenges in this field.
It is
essentially an online learning platform for all ages developed by a team of
educationists, science communicators and astronomers depicting innovation,
passion and total commitment to spreading knowledge of astronomy and space
sciences to the public. Implementing astronomy and space science curriculum in
the Indian education system, every project in Space-e-fic is an opportunity for children to be part of
an intelligent and analytical global community. They have successfully
developed a variety of astronomy and space science educational content through
astronomy projects, virtual sessions, tutorials and course modules, nurturing
the space-Ed needs of enthusiastic young minds across India.
An IIT
incubated startup, Space-e-fic was founded by Agniva and Akash who hold deep
expertise and in-depth knowledge in the domain. Launched just a few months ago,
the startup has already served more than 10,000 students from all over India
and engaged more than 20 experts from ISRO, IITÂs and other premier research
institutions.
Speaking
about their venture, Agniva said, ÂWith the rapid change in industry and job
opportunities in modern society, the same subjects which have been taught to
students for over 50 years will not work anymore. New subjects with a more
practical approach and having relevant industry exposure should be available to
the students. And honestly, they deserve it!Â
Sticking to a
STEM-based curriculum, here you will not only learn how a rocket flies but also
how to build one with significant payload capacity through various engaging
activities. The courses offered are designed to enrich your knowledge and
provide you with a practical learning experience of Astronomy, Cosmology and
Rocket science, all at your convenience! They additionally offer exciting
discounts to ensure affordable learning for students with financial constraints
so that they can utilize their hidden potential and shape their future towards
a more Âspace-e-fic career. This is in line with their philosophy– ÂSpace-Ed
for all!Â
Achieving
immense success and satisfaction across 20 plus states, the brand has
successfully established itself as a leading platform in the domain. The team
takes pride in fueling the curiosity of young minds and space enthusiasts by
having a technologically skilled approach towards space science and astronomy.
