Info: This event will comprise after school workshops involving the building of a telescope similar to Galileo’s. They are suitable for school age children and their parents. These workshops will be followed by a public viewing evening.
This project is designed to engage children through the building of telescopes similar to Galileo’s and to learn about Australian involvement in Astronomy.

Children attending workshops and events will also receive a DVD celebrating the International Year of Astronomy and the history of the telescope.
