For research students

[Print-friendly version]

As mentioned earlier, the Telescopes In Education program allows students to utilise research-quality telescopes and equipment in order to reinforce the curricula they are being taught in school. Educational opportunities for teaching exist in a wide variety of areas, including:

  • mathematics
  • science (physics, chemistry and biology)
  • engineering
  • technology
  • renewable resources
  • communications

Essentially, the uses of the technology are only limited by the imagination of the teacher and students - the telescopes have even been used in graphic art and poetry classes as sources of inspiration!

But how does it all work, and how can I get involved? The following pages will attempt to answer many of your questions - if you have further queries then please don't hesistate to contact us.
