Outreach
Our staff and students are active in astronomy outreach, and some examples follow.

Build a Planet Workshop
Build-a-Planet Extravaganza is a one hour hands-on, immersive school incursion, bringing the wonders of the Solar System to your classroom. This 60 minute activity will get your students to dance through the Solar System, learning fun facts about our cosmic neighbourhood, and getting them build their very own alien worlds out of everyday materials. The best thing is, they keep and take home their newly built worlds! The workshops are designed for K-3 classes but can be tailored to older classrooms if needed.

Please note: as a university research facility Mt Kent Observatory is not open to the public, but UniSQ Events and the School of Sciences includes astronomy in their outreach activities.
