Aitchison College Takes IYNT 2025 by Storm

Aitchison College proudly represented Pakistan at the International Young Naturalists’ Tournament (IYNT) 2025 with two teams of Aitchisonians taking the global stage. After a rigorous selection process, Team Pakistan, entirely composed of our own students, travelled to Almaty, Kazakhstan. There, they competed against the brightest young scientists from around the world. Through intense scientific challenges, debates, and collaborations, our teams showcased Aitchison’s spirit of perseverance, curiosity, and innovation. This participation marks a historic milestone as an all-Aitchisonian representation at this prestigious global tournament. Such successes undoubtedly inspire future generations of problem-solvers and innovators.

Aitchisonians Achieved a Major Breakthrough in Rocketry

On 25^th of September, on the outskirts of Bhalwal, the Aitchison College Science Society successfully launched Pakistan’s first-ever Level Two High-Power Rocket. In doing so, our school has set two national records:

Achieving the highest speed of a non-military rocket at Mach 0.5 (160 m/s).
Reaching an apogee of 1,200 metres, a milestone never before achieved at the school level in Pakistan.

This success followed the static test of the Delta-5 solid motor on August 7, 2025, which produced 40 kg of thrust and was entirely designed, built, and fired at Aitchison. Building on that success, the recent flight was powered by the same Delta-5 engine, made completely in-house.

The Aitchison College Rocketry Team has independently engineered its own motor, ignition system, and thrust stand, setting a new standard at the high school level.

This launch marks a defining moment in both the history of Aitchison and of rocketry in Pakistan. It demonstrates that, with vision, teamwork, and determination, our school students can compete with and even surpass the capabilities of leading universities worldwide
