Mount Diablo Astronomical SocietyAstronomy NightWalnut CreekThey will gladly organize an astronomy night for your school, youth group, or other community organization. Members volunteer their time and their telescopes to bring the Universe to you. They can also provide knowledgeable speakers and activities on various astronomy topics either in a classroom/meeting setting or in conjunction with a night at the telescopes. All of programs are no-cost, but donations to help offset our printing and outreach expenses are excepted. A few requirements if you would like a night with the telescopes. For example, the stars and faint celestial objects are best viewed without a full moon, and at a site with access to a fair portion of the sky, minimal artificial lighting, and easy access for setting up our telescopes. Please give yourself ample time to organize and publicize, and for us to staff, your event. Lastly, we want to make sure we can accommodate the size of your group.

Join Our Team

The mission of CRS is to empower teachers and STEM professionals serving schools in historically marginalized communities to activate TK-8 students’ curiosity about the world, foster critical thinking, and inspire children to imagine future career pathways. We envision a community of educators, scientists, families and partners working together to build school cultures that equip all children to explore the world around them and build the skills needed to become innovators, problem solvers, environmental stewards, life-long learners and leaders. CRS leads a dynamic network, fostering relationships and collaborations that leverage expertise and resources to transform science teaching and learning toward greater equity, opportunity, and success for all students.

 

Our goal is simple: help teachers give students more opportunities to “do science” – to ask questions, test ideas, get their hands on real science activities. We need to inspire the next generation of thinkers, makers, problem solvers, and leaders!
