Initially started as a university-wide science club, the KSS has gradually evolved into one of the most active science societies in Pakistan.[2] The KSS rose to prominence with its range of activities planned around and after International Year of Astronomy 2009 [3] and an international symposium on Science and the Muslim Civilisation in 2007 with Prof. George Saliba as the keynote speaker.[4] Since 2017, it has started annual science show, formally known as Lahore Science Mela, attracting thousands of school children and members of the general public.[5] CampaignsOne of its main focus areas is to partner with national and international organizations and institutions to run on-ground science awareness and motivation campaigns. Activities organized around the International Year of Astronomy inspired thousands of students around the country and the impact was acknowledged both home and abroad.[2][6][7] Currently it is running a nationwide science awareness movement in partnership with Alif Ailaan reaching out to public and private schools in remote areas of Pakistan.[8][9] See also
