Aeross is the aerospace society of Delhi Public School R.K. Puram, which comprises a cohort of outer space and aviation aficionados. Our fervent passion for science and engineering fuels our constant pursuit of facing challenges head-on, preferring to build and create rather than just observe. Since our inception in 2009, we have reached numerous significant milestones, and to this day, our community continues to thrive with over 30 members ranging from grades 6-12. As an organization that prioritizes quality over quantity, our members represent the finest 1% amongst all the school's students. With an unwavering commitment to progress and broaden our horizons, we persistently strive towards surpassing limitations and expanding our outreach.
Our members possess a diverse range of skills encompassing Computer-Aided Design (CAD), 3D modelling, programming, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), animation and video editing. We frequently participate in national and international contests centred on aeronautics, space architecture and other engineering disciplines, and often emerge victorious. However, we do not limit ourselves to these competitions. Over the past few years, Aeross has launched several internal initiatives, such as our CubeSat program, Summer Courses, and forthcoming High Altitude Balloon project.
Aeross is proud of most of its 100+ alumni, who have continued to excel at fields well beyond their time at the club and the school. With individuals placed at a plethora of institutions worldwide, Aeross has well-established links within the current industry.
