Big Astronomy Community Day is a celebration of all the teaching and learning resources the project has available. Throughout the month of April 2023, we are encouraging individuals and organizations to hold
events where the Big Astronomy film is shown or related hands-on activities are being implemented.
We want you, your family, your friends, your colleagues, and your community to participate!
Participants can enter a telescope prize drawing. Please register your event here.
Teaching and Learning Resources for blind and visually impaired (BVI) and deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) persons are now available! Thanks to support from the US National Science Foundation, the Big Astronomy film and supplemental videos include captioning and some include descriptive video text.
In addition, our suite of hands-on activities now include new resources for BVI learners.
