Class Experience

In this three-day-long space camp learners will get a good foundational understanding of astronomy and the universe. Over three days we will cover: 

Day 1: Introduction to Our Solar System -- Learn about the structure of the solar system, including objects like dwarf planets, and structures like the Kuiper Belt, and get acquainted with the planets and the moons. 

Day 2: The Night Sky -- What is up with the 88 constellations in our sky? Where do you find the planets and the moon? We will...

Learners will learn some foundational knowledge about space science, including how to find important and prominent objects and constellations in the sky, how our solar system is structured, and what else is out there in Milky Way Galaxy.

Natasha has taught astronomy to learners from age 3 and up for 7 years through science outreach programs and activities. She studies science and focuses on physics, astronomy, and Earth science, and has been an amateur astronomer since she was a young learner herself!

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

I will assess learners upon request.

3 hours per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
