STEM Education

It's not too late to get your students involved in this year's Great Worldwide Star Count, a project that teaches both astronomy and technology skills. Now until November 3, you can participate with classes around the globe.

Technology Anchors Global Participation
This is the second year for the project, organized by a consortium of universities calling itself Windows on the Universe. Funded by the National Science Foundation, the goal is to map global light pollution while helping students learn astronomy. Volunteers worldwide choose a constellation and report online how many stars they observe in it.

An activity guide and star charts are available online. Observations must be reported by November 3.
