Why a mobile planetarium
The most cost-effective way to inspire the next generation of space scientists
For the cost of a school event, every student experiences the universe — and many see, for the first time, a future for themselves in space.
A planetarium without building one
A permanent planetarium costs crores to build and run. A Space Trek show brings the same Immersive 3D dome to your campus from ₹80 per student.
No buses, no lost school day
A field trip moves a few classes across town. The dome comes to you, and every class from KG to Class 12 watches its own show — about 350 students a day.
Fresh every year
With a different show for every class, students see a new show each year as they move up, building interest in space step by step.
A window to real careers
India’s space sector is growing fast, with ISRO and a new wave of private space companies. The dome is often where a child first imagines working there.
10–12 years
The true test: where our students are today
In schools that have hosted Space Trek every year for 10–12 years, we have seen students go on to choose space as a career.
- Working at ISRO
- Running their own space companies
- At multinational space corporations
