ISRO Kids is an education programme that attempts to help students explore various fields of space science and encourage budding scientists. Started with the guidance and support of ISRO on April 20, 2011, isrokids.com attempts to impart scientific knowledge about space to kids online, keeping in mind the enormous opportunities in the area of space science. A group of young open source entrepreneurs - "Venture Seeds" developed an education centre with the help of First Planet. Dr. Mayilswamy Annadurai, ISRO's Project Director of Chandrayaan Mission I and II, inaugurated the education centre held at First Planet Technologies, recently.
