Kalam Labs is India's First Kids Space Organization. We are creating a place where kids take part in actual ambitious space missions.

The Missions are done with India's Top Space Organizations and super cool & fun for kids, like:-

• Unfurling India's Flag in Space with Tata Institute of Fundamental Research
• Building a Space Drone with IIT-Kanpur
• Building a Perpetual Drone Satellite with IISc Bangalore

Kids get to work on these missions at their home by our Kalam Labs - Space Kits and by playing our Kalam Labs app.
