Founded by Planetary Scientist and Canadian Space Ambassador, Bhairavi Shankar, Indus Space is just really cool. Providing the most advanced space exploration learning platform for kids, they offer workshops, camps, and public events. What’s unique about Indus Space is that it brings important current topics to the forefront, while still engaging kids in learning and fun. Real-life examples are often used and kids learn about the best and the brightest in the field of space exploration. As a woman of colour, Shankar is also hoping to highlight the lack of diversity, especially at the leadership level, in this field, and how we can push to change this. Not just an after-school program, Indus Space is working on U.N. Sustainable Development Goals for building a better future, including quality education, gender equality, decent work and economic growth, and reduced inequalities. All kids in this program, no matter what gender or race, come out of the program believing they can be an astronaut or scientist.
