Education & Outreach

In CAASTRO, we are committed to communicating our science to the public and to making astronomy accessible, comprehensible and attractive for students – the next generation of scientists!

CAASTRO certainly brings together a team of highly skilled researchers who are working on exciting projects, but we are also an interactive and approachable network of local, national, and international experts and resources in Astronomy and Technology.

Our Education & Outreach focuses on programs that can find multiple uses and/or can be delivered through multiple media channels. This will not only increase the awareness of CAASTRO science projects, nationally and internationally, but will also extend our audience towards the public domain.

We will make extensive use of:

  • CONNECTIVITY and TECHNOLOGY, in particular videoconference facilities, and
  • Our FRIENDLY and PASSIONATE RESEARCHERS who can relay scientific information to the public.
