Founder: Dr. Derrick Lim

Dr. Derrick Lim has been interested in space and astronomy since he was a child. He worked as a tutor to make money to buy his first telescope a 4" reflector that he used to explore planets, comets and many fascinating objects in the night sky. Dr. Lim's background is in electrical engineering and physics, but he left his profession to pursue an opportunity as an Astronomer at the Berda-Claude International School (BCIS) in Phuket, where he shared his knowledge and passion for astronomy by organizing astronomy and space related events for the students. Dr. Lim led the astronomy extra-curricular activities and arranged a space-camp where students got to learn about CubeSats and Mars from a former NASA Astronaut. Dr. Lim also managed the school's 14m planetarium and led planetarium programs for BCIS students as well as visiting students from neighboring schools. Subsequently, Dr. Lim moved to Bangkok to provide astronomy education consultation services. He works closely with the National Astronomical Research Institute of Thailand (NARIT) and Fulldome Pro (planetarium company) to provide the best astronomy related content. He is currently an astronomy and planetarium consultant for Attamit School in Bangkok.
