India is rapidly growing in every sector and one field, in which, India has shown the world its potential is ‘Space Science.’ From launching small rockets of mere 40-80kg payload to carrying more than 3000kg payload to space, India has come a long way. The country has massive potential in Space Science and it is smartly and rapidly utilizing its resources in building a big space ecosystem. The country is not only focusing on developing space assets that have direct benefits like enhancing communication facilities which help in giving assistance to farmers but is also emphasizing space exploration and many other missions.
However, one can’t deny the fact that despite so much focus on Space Science, there is hardly any course or exposure at the primary level of the education system when it comes to space research, astronomy, and space science. To counter this, Space-E-Fic, an online e-learning platform is driven to focus on imparting education on astronomy, space science, cosmology, and astrophysics.
New India is changing at a rapid pace and with this change, new digital, and technologically driven ways of imparting education have emerged. Keeping this in mind, Agniva and Akash founded Space-E-Fic. A start-up incepted by IIT Alumni, it aims to motivate students in taking courses related to space science. It is essentially an online learning platform for all ages developed by a team of educationists, science communicators, and astronomers depicting innovation, passion, and total commitment to spreading knowledge of astronomy and space sciences to the public. Implementing astronomy and space science curriculum in the Indian education system, every project in Space-E-Fic is an opportunity for children to be part of an intelligent and analytical global community. They have successfully developed a variety of educational content on astronomy and space science taught through astronomy projects, virtual sessions, tutorials, and course modules, nurturing the space-Ed needs of enthusiastic young minds across India.
Despite being a newly launched e-learning venture, the startup within a span of few months has already served more than 10,000 students from all over India and engaged more than 20 experts from ISRO, IIT’s, and other premier research institutions. Talking about the need for coming up with Space-E-Fic, Agniva Das says, “I have always believed in the skill-based education system as it is the only way to take India to new heights of success by making our youth capable and self-reliable. However, we are all aware that India still follows the traditional, old curriculum which is a major reason why the youth of this country is unemployed despite being educated. With Space-E-Fic, we want to empower our students by providing them education in the field of space science as I believe that this is the future and has immense employment opportunities for upcoming generations.”
Sticking to a STEM-based curriculum, the courses are carefully curated by a team of experts who have years of experience in the domain. The content delivers a practical learning experience of Astronomy, Cosmology, and Rocket science, all at your own pace! Space-E-Fic additionally offers exciting discounts to ensure affordable learning for all students so that they can utilize their hidden potential and shape their future towards a fruitful career. This is in line with their philosophy– “Space-Ed for all!”
