October 1 - 12, 2012
Participants of this online workshop will receive a free toolkit of hands-on activities and demos related to daytime solar observing and interpreting the Sun. The workshop will cover the use of the toolkit materials and the background science, as well as how to organize daytime astronomy events. You should plan to spend about six hours on workshop activities over the course of the two-week workshop. Participants new to Astronomy from the Ground Up should also plan to spend about an hour the week prior to the start of the workshop for orientation to the website.
Application materials are due by August 17, 2012. For more information and to apply to participate in the workshop and receive a kit, see this page: Find more information and the application on this page: http://www.afguonline.org/mod/resource/view.php?id=1857.
Sky Rangers Online Workshop for Outdoor Astronomy Interpretation
January 21 - March 15, 2013
Does your park or nature center have dark star-filled skies? Are your visitors excited about astronomy, but you need a confidence boost in order to interpret the sky for them? Want to be able to find more in the sky than just the Big Dipper and Orion? Join our upcoming Sky Rangers online workshop so we can enable you to share the night sky as another important natural resource of your park.
Applications are now being accepted for the Sky Rangers Workshop from the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, taking place January 21 - March 15, 2013. This free online workshop provides training and a toolkit of materials for interpreters and outdoor educators who want to learn how to tell the story of the sky and bring the excitement of astronomy to their audiences. Participants of this winter 2013 workshop will also receive the Our Magnetic Sun toolkit with activities focused on the Sun and solar observing.
Apply on-line by November 28, 2012. Find more information and the application on this page: http://www.afguonline.org/mod/resource/view.php?id=1857
