Project Astro

 

Developed by the Astronomical Society of the Pacific , with support through the National Science Foundation and NASA. Project ASTRO began in 1993, pairing professional and amateur astronomers with classroom teachers. The partners are trained together in workshops that emphasize hands-on activities. Members of the Cuyahoga Astronomical Association support this activity. Project ASTRO is an on-going program.
