Why Astronomy?
• Stimulates imagination & interest in Science, Math, Computers, History, Art, and Culture!
• Powerful framework:– Physics - Mathematics - Meteorology– Chemistry - Computer Science - Geology – Biology - Engineering - The Arts
• Welcoming• Inquiry based • Accessible
•Tangible discovery
