[1] The Khwarizmi Science Society was founded in 1997 by a group of students at the University of Engineering and Technology, Lahore, under the guidance of Prof. Saadat Anwar Siddiqi.

[5] One 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.

[10][11] In addition to the demonstrations and stalls by the society volunteers, many national and international scientific and technological organizations bring their public engaging exhibits.
