RSC holds satellite making workshop
This special initiative aimed to inspire the next generation of space enthusiasts by blending the spirit of exploration with hands-on scientific learning.
RSC Project Coordinator K Srinivasa Nehru said that during the two days, participants explored how satellites function, their structural design, and the essential electronics that power them. A thrilling Water Rocket Demonstration by student teams added a burst of excitement to the day, visually illustrating principles of propulsion and aerodynamics. Students engaged in assembling functional model satellites equipped with sensors to measure atmospheric parameters such as humidity and temperature.
They also took part in basic coding exercises, programming their devices to collect and process real-time data—turning theoretical understanding into practical innovation. As part of the broader Space Week celebrations, this workshop paid tribute to the monumental milestone of lunar exploration. By encouraging students to design, build and test their own satellites, the programme reflected the pioneering spirit that first took humanity to the moon and continues to drive our exploration of space.

Students celebrate Moon Day with workshops, films & missions at RSC
1 2 Cuttack: With models, movies and moments of discovery, the Regional Science Centre (RSC), Bhubaneswar, transformed into a hub of curiosity and learning as it celebrated International Moon Day on Sunday. Commemorating the first Moon landing by Apollo 11 in 1969, the event drew around 100 school students and public, aimed to inspire young minds and raise awareness about space research. A hands-on workshop, 'Phases of the Moon', was conducted where students built working models to understand the lunar cycle. Kits were provided by the centre and participants, with the guidance of experts, received certificates and course materials for further learning. "The day is not just about looking back at the Moon landing; it is also about inspiring the next generation to dream big and explore the universe. We are proud to see such enthusiasm among students," said RSC head Kapil Jain. An exclusive film screening showcased the Apollo 11 Moon landing and India's advancements in lunar exploration. "Building the Moon model helped me understand how the Moon changes shape every night. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like When the Camera Clicked at the Worst Possible Time Read More Undo It was fun and educational," said Ritika Mohanty, a Class IX student. Another participant, Sourav Patra, said, "I didn't know India had such a big role in Moon missions. Now, I want to learn more about Isro and become a space scientist." The celebrations included an interactive session between RSC staff and students and encouraged questions on topics about space science and exploration.

Students get hands-on training on satellite models
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.
