UF Astro Outreach

Outreach Statement

The UF Department of Astronomy is committed to astronomy education in our schools and community. Many of our faculty and graduate students regularly visit schools, host events, and work with local educators to make sure the excitement of astronomy is conveyed to school-age students and the general public. We host public observing nights every Friday night here on campus (weather permitting), and we visit classrooms with our portable Starlab planetarium and other activities. Please contact us if you are interested in hearing more about these activities or scheduling a visit to your school!
