Thanks, Shannon for replying to this. To clarify: Any staff member or
volunteer at a science center, nature center, museum, or other non-
profit informal education institution in the U.S. is eligible for
Astronomy from the Ground Up. Preference is given to smaller
institutions, and, in this case, to institutions located in the
western part of the U.S., since these are regional workshops. If you
have specific questions about your eligibility, please contact
