Our Milky Way is filled with stars both new and old. We will explore two distinct populations of star clusters. Open clusters are formed in the galactic disc and become dispersed throughout the Milky Way. Globular clusters are formed around galaxies and are ancient relics that hover around the galactic halo like moths about a porch light. Our programs are interactive and challenging for astronomy students of all ages.

Understanding the dynamics of stellar formation and dispersion is essential to understanding the evolution of our Universe. We will apply hands-on training methods and then use these tools to observe the starry night with our telescopes at star parties this month.

This course will provide K-12 teachers with a solid foundation to teach science in a simple and relevant way. Teachers will use a see-one-do-one-teach-one technique to raise confidence and effectiveness in teaching systems of science through the lens of astronomy. Teachers will develop inquiry skills to encourage their students to arrive at answers rather than using traditional memorization techniques. This course will provide several hands-on techniques to teaching fundamental space science concepts and provide ways to use readily available resources to reinforce science standards.
