Club Activities

 

Monthly general meetings are held on the first Thursday of each month except for July and August. These meetings are open to the public!

We also organize an impressive number of other activities such as educational seminars, public outreach events, as well as group observing sessions throughout the year.

 


 

John Percy, Professor Emeritus: U of T, has been kind enough to share a variety of tools that will be useful for teachers, or volunteers, who will be presenting astronomy topics to the public.

John has compiled an impressive number of very useful links to some of his own works, as well as links to some of his favorite Science Education websites. He calls his collection "Astronomy Education, Outreach, and Communication "

Some of the links include actual slide show presentations. I am sure he would be thrilled to be asked if you have his permission to use his material, but YOU SHOULD ASK FOR HIS PERMISSION, and you should also make sure you tell your audience that you are using his work.

The above link contains John's contact information for those seeking permission to use his work.
