Academy Science youth pursue all sorts of science, some more so than others. When it comes to the science of Astronomy, at this time our frame of reference is “Sidewalk Astronomer.” Sidewalk astronomers venture out to the street corner after dark to set up a telescope in an urban setting for entertainment and public education.

Every once in a while a person needs to slow down long enough to smell the roses. Well, it is too early in the year for roses, but left to their own design, youth sure know how to entertain themselves! We are grateful to 4-H for the opportunity to camp out at their facility. There are special events coming this spring to watch out for!
