Sky exploration festival is a time to objectify the science of astronomy and involve in environment to improve the personal life for students. Iranian Teachers Astronomy Union (ITAU) created this festival and started since 2013 which has involved thousands of students so far. During this festival groups of students camp in the nature and spend a day with astronomy leaders. They connect to astronomy combined with geology, biology, literature, art, hiking and sports. The most important and interesting point about this festival is that all of the works, managements and teaching are done by other students who have learned and experienced it before. Methods and structure of the sky exploration festival can be used now by all of the countries and schools around the world.
