TBD
The "go" date is the date at which WCA determines whether there are enough students or not to run the class. If this is a class you are interested in, please be sure to enroll before the "Go" date (and encourage your friends to do so as well) so that we can be sure to run the class! We will notify you at the end of the business day on the "GO" date if the class is to be cancelled so that you can make other plans for that date, but ideally, we'll see you at the class!
A Hands-on Exploration & Adventure in Making Your Own Galileoscope. . . . .
This class will be an introduction to amateur astronomy focusing on the construction and use of a basic telescope. During the class, students will build their own “Galileoscope” and learn to star gaze using it.
Each student (or family/payment) will leave with their own “Galileoscope” (built by them) and the knowledge to use their telescope to gaze at the stars at home.
*Families are encouraged for this class. Students under the age of 10 need to be accompanied by an adult.
PRICE for this fun Workshop (includes one Galileoscope to take home):
WCA Member: $ 50
Non-WCA Member: $55
Limited Spots: because Galileoscopes are limited in production each year, there are only 10 "spots" in this workshop.
Supplies:
*Clothing appropriate for both indoors and outdoors and a variety of weather conditions.
*One Galileoscope Kit is included in the price of the class for the student to take home.
