Outreach

In 2011, WASI collectively logged 300+ hours of the volunteer hours reaching out to 25,000 people in the community. Our “small” organization sets the standard in public outreach for the rest astronomy clubs in the nation. As national outreach leaders (according to NASA’s Night Sky Network), we are constant testing and inventing educational techniques for weird and complex science topics that find their way to nationally distributed educational kits.

We have many members willing and able to share their knowledge and expertise in astronomy.
