In 2025, with your generous donations, Battle Point Astronomical Association successfully launched our STEAM education program to offer resources and field trips to K-12 schools! We also expanded our planetarium access, and hosted free Second Saturday Science Talks open to everyone, no matter age or income. Battle Point Observatory partners with community groups and other non-profits to host educational classes and events, exploring everything from science discussions to art exploration and children’s theatre experiences.
BPAA constantly looks for opportunities to give back to the community, and we need your help to continue! Our year-end goal is to raise $100,000 to support the Observatory and programs, to offer events that expand community connection and access for all. By growing access to science and education, you strengthen the commitment to igniting passion for science and learning through the lens of astronomy! With your support, we can create opportunities for lifelong learning and unique experiences that combine the wonders of the night sky with technical and creative exploration. Help us offer community Star Parties, where someone who has never looked through a telescope before suddenly sees the universe open up before them.
Your contribution can make a galaxy of difference! Join us in giving the gift of learning and exploration. Every dollar brings us closer to unlocking the mysteries of space for all.
