From October 4–10, Laurus International School celebrated World Space Week—an annual global event recognized in 95 countries that highlights the role of science and technology in improving life on Earth. With its strong focus on space science education and industry partnerships, Laurus provided students with a unique opportunity to explore the cosmos.

The highlight of the week was an interactive exhibition held on October 10 on the school’s Ad Astra floor, which is dedicated to astronomical sciences. Middle school students engaged with professionals from five organizations involved in space-related fields: Astroscale, Axiom Space, ispace, Electra Chiropractic, and the Earth Life Science Institute.

In addition to expert talks, students participated in hands-on activities exploring the scale of the solar system, deep-sky objects, constellations, and telescope usage. The event fostered curiosity and critical thinking, bringing space science to life through real-world connections and immersive learning.
