Learning Beyond the Classroom: Real Academy’s Educational Excursion to IISER Pune & Science Center

At Real Academy, we strongly believe that true learning happens when students experience concepts beyond textbooks. With this vision, Real Academy organized a one-day educational excursion for students to IISER Pune during the Indian Science Festival 2026, followed by an enriching visit to the Science Center and Tarangan Planetarium, Pimpri Chinchwad.

This student science trip was designed to spark curiosity, encourage innovation, and promote experiential learning through real-world scientific exposure.

Visit to IISER Pune – Indian Science Festival 2026

The first destination of the excursion was IISER Pune, one of India’s premier institutes for scientific research and education. During the Indian Science Festival 2026, students were exposed to a vibrant environment filled with scientific innovation and discovery.

Students actively engaged in:

• Hands-on scientific experiments

• Interactive science exhibitions

• Demonstrations on emerging technologies

• Events highlighting AI in education and future scientific applications
  

These experiences helped students understand how classroom concepts are applied in real-life research and innovation. The interactive nature of the festival made science exciting, meaningful, and inspiring for young minds.

Encouraging Experiential Learning Through Interaction

Unlike traditional classroom learning, this excursion allowed students to observe, interact, question, and explore. By witnessing experiments and AI-based demonstrations firsthand, students developed a deeper understanding of scientific principles.

Such experiential learning:

• Enhances conceptual clarity

• Builds analytical and critical thinking skills

• Encourages curiosity and creativity

• Makes learning enjoyable and memorable

The excitement and enthusiasm among students reflected the impact of this hands-on exposure.

Science Center, Pimpri Chinchwad – Learning Through Exploration

After IISER Pune, the journey continued to the Science Center Pimpri Chinchwad, where students explored a wide range of interactive scientific models and experiments.

The highlights included:

• Engaging scientific experiment zones

• Visual learning through interactive displays

• An exciting 3D science show that simplified complex concepts

The blend of visuals and experiments helped students grasp scientific ideas more effectively, making learning both fun and informative.

Tarangan Planetarium – A Journey Through Stars and Galaxies 🌌

One of the most memorable parts of the excursion was the visit to the Tarangan Planetarium. The planetarium show on stars, galaxies, and the universe left students completely mesmerized.

Through stunning visuals and narration, students explored:

• The vastness of the universe

• Stars, planets, and galaxies

• The wonders of space science

The Tarangan show was truly breathtaking and became the highlight of the day, inspiring students to think beyond Earth and develop interest in astronomy and space science.
