The STEAM Conclave 2025 – A Cosmic Quest, held in collaboration with IUCAA, was a dynamic celebration of space science and interdisciplinary learning for students from Grades 6 to 12. The event opened with a thematic dance on astrophysics, setting an inspiring tone for the day.

A major highlight was the Pitch Presentations by Grades 9–12, where students proposed innovative ideas for human settlement in space, impressing a panel of scientists and educators with their research, creativity, and confident delivery. For Grades 6–8, the Tatvabodha segment encouraged myth-busting through scientific reasoning, promoting critical thinking and a scientific mindset.
Hands-on workshops by IUCAA on spectroscopy, gravitational lenses, and black holes kept students actively engaged, turning complex theories into tangible learning experiences. The day was filled with exploration, excitement, and insightful dialogue, transforming classrooms into spaces of awe and discovery. The conclave showcased the immense potential of young learners and highlighted the value of interdisciplinary education in inspiring future innovators.
As part of the conclave, an engaging Astrophysics session was held on 20th May by Akshay Bhatia, a Shiv Nadar School alumnus and current Physics student at St. Stephen’s College, Delhi. Attended by Grade 11 Science and interested Grade 9 students, the session focused on Newton’s Laws and their role in understanding astronomical phenomena. Drawing from his NIUS camp experience and IIT Delhi internship, Akshay simplified complex concepts, making them relatable and easy to grasp. The interactive session saw enthusiastic participation, culminating in a lively discussion sparked by Akshay’s closing puzzle on Zeno’s Paradox. This session deepened students’ interest in astrophysics and left them inspired to explore the wonders of the universe further.
