Who we are
Look up. Then build.
Chukki began in 2017 when two satellite engineers set up a telescope on a Jayanagar terrace for the neighbours’ children. Forty came on the first night. Today 600 children a year learn the sky and build robots with us.
Telescope nights, sky camps and robotics labs for curious children, in batches of 12. Every child gets time at the eyepiece and at the soldering bench. Book a free trial class this Saturday.

What we stand for
Three things we will not change
Eyes at the eyepiece
Every child spends real time at a telescope in each session, not just looking at a screen.
Small batches
Twelve children and two mentors, so questions get answered and no one waits long for a turn.
Things you take home
The robots, circuits and telescopes built in class go home with the child who built them.
The night sky is a lab. So is the bench.

Sample reviews, written for this demo. Real customer reviews replace them on your store.
My son came back from the camp and named every star in Orion for his grandmother. He has not stopped since.
The robotics batch is small enough that the mentors know each child. My daughter wrote her first real code here.
We came for one Moon evening and signed up for the term. Seeing Saturn’s rings through the telescope did it.
Clear-sky alerts for parents.
We message you when the sky is clear enough for a rooftop night, about twice a month.
