Looking Beyond Earth

From Galileo’s first telescope to today’s powerful satellites, humanity has always searched for answers in the sky. At RAAC Academy, we use this history of exploration to inspire students to think bigger, ask questions, and seek discovery.

How Telescopes Inspire Young Minds

When kids learn how telescopes collect light from distant stars and galaxies, they’re not just learning about science — they’re learning to see possibilities beyond what’s visible. In our Astronomy and STEM courses, students build models, study images from Hubble and James Webb, and explore how telescopes change our understanding of the universe.

Satellites: Everyday Science in Action

Satellites aren’t just in space — they’re part of daily life. From weather forecasting to GPS, students discover how satellites power the technology they use every day. Hands-on projects bring these concepts to life, showing kids that science isn’t abstract — it’s practical and exciting.

Building Skills for the Future

Through activities centered on telescopes and satellites, RAAC students practice observation, analysis, and presentation — skills that will serve them long after class ends.
