Every year, from October 4th to 10th, the world celebrates World Space Week – a global initiative honoring humanity’s achievements in exploring the universe and highlighting the importance of science in our everyday lives. Thousands of events, workshops, and educational activities are organized across the globe with one shared mission – to spark curiosity and inspire the next generation of explorers.
World Space Week carries a strong educational mission – designed to encourage young minds to think creatively, scientifically, and inquisitively.
This is also the mission of IQ UP! – through its STEM methodology (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), it empowers children to explore the world around them through questions, experiments, and logical thinking. At IQ UP!, learning is an adventure, and every lesson is a small step toward discovery.
Dates That Changed History
It’s no coincidence that World Space Week is celebrated from October 4th to 10th.
On October 4th, 1957, Sputnik 1, the first artificial satellite, was launched, marking the beginning of the space age. On October 10th, 1967, the Outer Space Treaty was signed, symbolizing cooperation and responsibility in exploring the universe.
Curiosity – The First Step Toward Science
World Space Week reminds us that exploration is the driving force behind human progress. It not only celebrates past achievements but also turns our focus toward the future – toward generations that will ask new questions and seek bold answers.
At IQ UP!, such moments are seen as an opportunity for children to connect their natural curiosity with practical learning. Through STEM-based activities, they discover how the universe works while developing critical thinking, logic, and creativity – skills that prepare them for the challenges of tomorrow.
IQ UP! – Where Science Comes to Life
In the classrooms of IQ UP!, topics like planets, stars, gravity, robotics, and satellites become part of hands-on tasks and engaging experiments. Every child gets the chance to explore, test, and discover – turning learning into a true adventure.
With this approach, IQ UP! encourages young learners to become active participants in their educational journey – to ask questions, make mistakes, try again, and build confidence, just like real scientists.
Conclusion
World Space Week reminds us that every child’s “why?” can be the first step toward discovery. When children learn in an environment where questions are encouraged, experiments are part of the process, and curiosity leads the way, science becomes a daily adventure.
At IQ UP!, every class is an opportunity for new knowledge, and every “why?” is a step closer to the stars.
