Fall Workshop information

Teachers/Community Educators and Volunteer Astronomers will be paired as partners. Together,they will participate in a hands-on training workshop and follow-up event, receive astronomy resource materials, and develop a strategy for working together in the classroom.

Partnerships involve astronomers and teachers who commit to at least four visits per school-year. These may include hands-on activities, evening observing sessions, creating an astronomy club, going on field trips, doing science fair projects,and more!

Project ASTRO participants attend a hands-on astronomy workshop with their partners in which they learn how to:

• use K-12 astronomy activities to integrate astronomy, inquiry, writing, and art
• become part of a growing network of Project ASTRO partners
• rely on follow-up support from Project ASTRO staff
• receive helpful materials such as The Universe at Your Fingertips: An Astronomy Activity and Resource Notebook, resource lists, and supplies for hands-on activities.

More information about the level of commitment and the selection process is available for Teachers and for Astronomers.
