Family Astro Current Events

Training for Race to the Planets

December 3rd, 2009 3:00pm – 5:30pm
DOE Annex room, Waianuenue St., Hilo

Welcome to teachers, parents, and/or community members to be trained to bring the Race to the Planets module of the Family Astro Project to their own community of students and families. Check our website at http://www.gemini.edu/pio.

Gemini Observatory along with the Astronomical Society of the Pacific has developed Family ASTRO to help families, youth groups, after-school clubs, and everyone else learn and enjoy some of the exciting ideas that help in the understanding of our Universe. Our aim is to help parents (and other caregivers) to get more involved in their children’s science education, and to spend more time together in active experiments, observations, and discussion.

On Thursday, December 3, 2009 we will hold this Race to the Planets event and by using the hands on activities demonstrate the fun of discovery that is possible for your audiences.

Please reserve your space as soon as possible by contacting Andolie Marten, either by email amarten@gemini.edu or by phone, 974-2531. (If you have taken this course before you are welcome to attend as a refresher!)
