Students on Friday experienced hands-on training on various models of satellites at a two-day ‘Satellite making workshop’ organised by the Regional Science Centre, Tirupati, in association with Chennai-based Space Kidz India.
Th event, conducted as part of the ‘Space Week 2025’, provided a platform to the next generation of space enthusiasts by bringing together the spirit of exploration and scientific learning.
The first day’s activities were themed ‘Astronomy, satellite and water rocket launch’, where the participants explored the functionality of satellites, their structural design and the electronics that power them.
A water rocket demonstration by teams to illustrate the principles of propulsion and aerodynamics added to the excitement. “The second and third day will honour the scientific fraternity behind the monumental milestone of lunar exploration, where students will be encouraged to design, build and test their own satellites,” said RSC project coordinator Srinivasa Nehru.
Eighty students and teachers representing 25 schools from Tirupati and Hyderabad are attending the workshop.
