Project ASTRO

Project ASTRO is an educational initiative that connects professional astronomers with elementary and middle school teachers to enhance science learning. Volunteers from the astronomy community collaborate with educators to develop engaging, hands-on activities and lessons, making astronomy accessible and inspiring for students. The program aims to foster curiosity, improve science literacy, and promote critical thinking by providing students with direct interactions with real scientists and immersive learning experiences. Overall, ASTRO helps bridge the gap between professional science and classroom education, enriching students’ understanding of the universe.
