The Story Behind Our Name: Why We Chose Beyond Apogee

Have you ever looked up at the sky and wondered what lies beyond?
At Beyond Apogee, that question has always meant more than just space. It’s a symbol — of curiosity, of challenge, and of the human spirit always trying to go a little further.

But let’s rewind a bit.

What Does “Apogee” Mean?

In space science, “apogee” is the point in an object’s orbit where it is farthest from the Earth. It’s a beautiful word that speaks of distance, gravity, and exploration.
But more than that, it represents the peak — the furthest a satellite or spacecraft can go before gravity starts pulling it back.

So why did we choose a name that doesn’t stop at apogee?

Because we believe students shouldn’t stop there either.

Going Beyond the Peak

At Beyond Apogee, we believe learning shouldn’t have limits. Reaching the top is good — but asking what’s next is better. Our name is a reminder to ourselves, and to every student we work with, that there is always something beyond the highest point.

When a child builds their first robot, we ask — can you make it move?
When they light up an LED with code, we ask — can you add a sensor?
When they launch a water rocket, we ask — what if it could fly even higher?

That spirit of “what’s next?” is the heart of Beyond Apogee.

A Name That Reflects Our Purpose

We don’t just teach robotics, AI, and coding. We create a journey of exploration — one where students can discover what excites them, what challenges them, and what they’re capable of building.

Our students don’t follow rigid paths. They make their own.
That’s why our programs include:

Hands-on robotics kits like SajiloBot
Creative platforms like SajiloPython and TinkerCAD
Space-themed activities like water rocket launches and the Udaan competition
AI and coding projects that blend logic with imagination

The name Beyond Apogee reminds us that education isn’t just about reaching a goal — it’s about opening doors beyond it.

From a Small Idea to a Movement

When we first started, we were just a small team with a big dream:
To make science, coding, and robotics accessible to every student in Nepal.

We didn’t have fancy labs or big funding. What we had was energy, belief, and a simple idea — that if students are given the tools to build and think, they will always go further than expected.

Today, we are teaching in over 20 schools, working with hundreds of students, and still growing — but our name hasn’t changed.
Because it still reminds us:
The journey is never over.

What Beyond Apogee Means to Us — And to You

To us, “Beyond Apogee” means:

Letting students dream beyond limits
Asking better questions, not just giving correct answers
Choosing creativity over conformity
Believing in what comes after success — not just success itself

And we hope it means the same to every student, parent, teacher, or supporter who becomes part of our community.

What's in a name?

Names carry meaning. And ours carries a mission — to help students fly, think, and create beyond what they thought was possible.

Because in learning, like in space, there is always more to explore.

That’s why we are Beyond Apogee.
