Igniting Curiosity Through Community
YSAAS is more than just a club – it’s a movement.
Founded by high school student, Raheel Singh, YSAAS was born out of a desire to create a space where young South Africans with a passion for astronomy and astrophysics can come together, share ideas, and learn from each other. We believe that by nurturing curiosity, we can empower a new generation of thinkers, dreamers, and explorers.
We aim to connect students across South Africa and beyond through accessible science communication, inspiring events, and an ever-growing library of resources. Whether you’re planning a career in space science or just love looking up at the stars, you belong here.
