Modern astronomy relies on telescopes, computers, satellites, and other instruments to study the universe via observation, simulation, scientific analysis, and collaboration.  Recognizing the ever-growing applications of space sciences, contrasted with the scarcity of public observatories and space-oriented programs in most communities; we created the Future Astronomer program to bring the universe within the reach of students and educators.

​

Future Astronomer is a STEM Program with quality academic education and an emphasis on Astronomy. The program features two options: School Assembly, and Campus Equipment Rental. Supplementing both options is our curated curriculum; NGSS-Compliant lesson plans and projects for K-12 students.

​

Future Astronomer is the Ultimate Hands-on Experience & Workshop in Astronomy; for both K-12 Students, and Educators alike.  We utilize modern equipment, tested techniques, and an exciting new approach to learning about the universe - engaging students in over a dozen activities in the areas of Observation, Planetary Science, Simulated Space Exploration, and Innovation.

​

The chosen equipment features binoculars, solar glasses, a dedicated white light solar telescope, a dedicated hydrogen-alpha solar telescope, a planetary and deep-sky telescope, a radio telescope, a star analyzer camera system, augmented reality systems, virtual reality systems, a planetary rover, geological rocks, and a fun library of astronomy-rich books.  We only use modern equipment of the highest quality, and all our telescopes are on tracking mounts.
