We are here to make astronomy accessible to everyone
Who We Are
Your Gateway to the Stars
We began as a small but passionate community in Blackheath Village, London, under the name “The Alpha Astronomical Society“. Through this group, we organized star parties and meet-ups, creating a space for locals to experience the beauty of the night sky together. As our community’s interest grew, we expanded our activities to include astronomy-themed birthday parties and interactive astronomy stalls at local summer fairs.
Building on this enthusiasm, we launched our first after-school club as a pilot program at John Ball School in Blackheath Village, introducing young students to the wonders of astronomy. This milestone marked the beginning of our journey to bring astronomy education to learners of all ages and backgrounds. StellaR Inspire is all about making science fun and hands-on. We mix Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) into activities that spark curiosity and creative thinking. You’ll get to dive into the scientific process—ask questions, gather info, and make discoveries just like real scientists. We’re here to build your critical thinking skills and show that science isn’t just about facts, but about exploring the why and how behind everything. With StellaR Inspire, you’re not just learning; you’re rolling up your sleeves and getting involved in projects and experiments that bring ideas to life. Whether you’re a curious learner or just love to explore, we make sure the excitement sticks with you long after the experience is over.
