EDUCATIONAL WORKSHOPS
Ever since its inception, Dubai Astronomy Group has worked very closely with students and teachers equipping them with valuable know-how through our regularly organized educational workshops. We believe that the future of the world lies in their hands.
Whether it is working on the application of radio waves, or building your own satellite, the Invention Lab is equipped to help bring these projects to life.
Also referred to as the BRAIN of the Astro Academy, the Inspiration Lab is home to thousands of physical books and hundreds of thousands of virtual books.
Sometimes the Universe and sends us rocks from different parts of our Solar System. We showcase these celestial objects and empower the study of geology of our planet, and worlds beyond.
The Innovation Lab brings concepts and theories into reality, using different robotic and mechanical tools. And if the tools don’t exist, lets 3D print them!
