The Family ASTRO National Network

 

Family ASTRO logoFamily ASTRO is currently being offered at eight Regional Sites around the country, and each (by default) is a member of the Project ASTRO National Network. The Family ASTRO Regional Sites provide materials and training to a variety of local educators, who in turn become Event Leaders that host Astronomy Events within their community. Each Regional Site is operated by a Lead Institution (with a designated Site Coordinator) that partners with other interested local education institutions and individuals. Click here if you represent an education institution interested in starting a Family ASTRO Regional Site.
