It is often disheartening to see many students abandon their passion for astronomy after leaving school, allowing their hard-earned knowledge and curiosity to fade away. Recognizing this, the Foundation of Astronomical Studies and Exploration (FASE) was established to bring together those who wish to continue their journey of discovery. Our aim is to retain enthusiasm, share experience, and cultivate a renewed thirst for cosmic knowledge among both seasoned learners and newcomers alike. FASE also extends its hand to support and guide school astronomical societies, inspiring more institutions to explore the wonders of the universe. What began as a simple idea has grown into a continuing initiative to nurture curiosity, spread knowledge, and illuminate minds with the light of exploration.
At FASE we engage school students and the wider public in Sri Lanka through Astronomical nights, Public events, Lectures, Seminars, Competitions and Workshops — sharing the wonder of the cosmos, nurturing interest and welcoming new explorers to join our journey.
