Young Minds Take First Steps Toward Space Dreams at Astronaut Camp in Dhaka

The campus of Aga Khan Academy Dhaka recently turned into a hub of space exploration and scientific curiosity as young and teenage students took their first steps toward dreaming of conquering space. A day-long Astronaut Camp was recently held at the school premises near the entrance of Bashundhara Residential Area. Organised by Space Innovation Camp, the programme aimed to spark interest in space science among participating students through hands-on learning and real-world exposure. Throughout the day, students engaged in practical activities that introduced them to the fundamentals of space research, satellite technology and space robotics. Organisers from Space Innovation Camp believe that such initiatives play a crucial role in nurturing scientific thinking, curiosity and innovative mindsets among students. They also expressed their intention to expand similar hands-on, science-based programmes to more educational institutions in the future, aiming to inspire the next generation of space scientists and engineers.
