About this event
We are pleased to announce a new workshop series in 2023 dedicated just to younger astronomy enthusiasts! DVAA is currently privileged to have 7 junior members, 5 members with children, and no doubt dozens of children and grandchildren of members who are curious about the sky.
In this hands-on workshop, we will have different types of scopes set up for you to operate. Attendees who own telescopes can bring their scopes, set up indoors, and receive hints and pointers on operating the scope and observing the sky. We will have information on astronomy apps, rental telescopes, DVAA Youth Astronomy Awards and the Astronomical League's Sky Puppy program. This is a also a chance to meet other kids and teens who are interested in astronomy!
Open to junior DVAA members, family members, and children and grandchildren of regular members. We will need at least 5 registrants in order to hold the workshop.
Staff: A. Lamperti, J. Lamb, J. Rush
