These are ten day long science camps for students of VI standard up to X standards. Students, of class VI and VII comprise Junior batch and students of class VIII, IX and X form the Senior batch. Students are taught basics of science by demonstrations and laboratory activities.Universe in the Class room:
Students are taught astrophysics for about an hour and a half every evening. Participants are taught the use of star charts in the evenings. Cloudy evenings are compensated by using the simulated sky in the sky-theatre. They learn to identify bright constellations and movement of planets.

Experts from various institutes deliver lectures to these students.From Web of Life to Universe - Summer programme for college students:
This is a aimed at B.Sc. students of both life sciences and physical sciences. Senior scientists from Indian Institute, of Science, Raman Research Institute, Indian Space Research Organisation, Indian Institute of Astrophysics, National Aeronautical Laboratory conduct interactive sessions and interesting science movies also are shown. Special lectures by physicians about relevance of physics and biology to medical science are the highlights.Workshop on Indian Astronomy:
This is a 3 day programme to give exposure to the techniques of prediction of eclipses from actual observations, hands on activities and computations by the method followed in ancient India for prediction of eclipses. This is open to anyone with knowledge of trigonometry and requires active participation on all the 3 days. Participants are advised to bring calculators.Programmes are finalised by the last week of March
