BARCo:
Bringing Astronomy to Rural Communities of Colombia
We want to bring the fascinating science of astronomy to classrooms in rural Colombia.
We strongly believe that astronomy can be a powerful tool to inspire and educate students in science. We are confident that participation in this project will contribute significantly to the educational development of the participating students. In our BARCo kit, we will provide resources and guides built by professional astronomers for teachers to successfully develop activities with their students.
