“Give the pupils something to do, not something to learn; and the doing is of such a nature as to demand thinking; learning naturally results.”
-John Dewey

Integrating astronomy with hands-on learning helps young minds understand, learn, explore, experiment, and experience the wonders of the universe. Keeping the same in view, a Rocket Launch Activity ‘Reach for the Stars’ was performed by the students of Grade IX D wherein they built their own rockets with the help of basic principles of science and launched them on the school ground. The activity gave the budding minds not only a practical experience but also induced a scientific temperament in them.
