Students will gain customized access to remotely controlled robotic telescopes located in Arizona, Massachusetts, and in Chile in the southern hemisphere, and image-processing software tools to enhance their own (and NASA’s) astronomical images. YouthAstroNet participants learn that there are many ways to be a science person, by exploring the profiles of diverse STEM professionals, asking questions, and exploring simple hands-on activities to connect the science and stories of the night sky to everyday life.

Educators receive free online training, activity guides, and community support to help facilitate this program.
