Workshop W3. Sharing the Night Sky with Your Students
Nicole Gugliucci, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville STEM Center
Learn how to have an effective, fun, and safe star party with your students where they explore the night sky. A star party is an excellent tool for outreach and a good extension for any class that covers topics in astronomy. Even in an urban environment, the night sky may be more accessible than you think. Learn about how to share practical astronomy from astronomers and outreach professionals.
We'll go over ways to find local astronomers to help you put on your star party, tips for dealing with weather, and recommendations for equipment and activities to have for your students. Bring the night sky to your students and introduce them to the practical aspects of astronomy, as well as the wonder of the night sky. We'll discuss technologies and resources for finding your way around the night sky and sharing it with your students and tie the observing sessions into your classroom lessons. This workshop is free.
