Observatory Volunteer Opportunities for September
We are grateful for our amazing volunteers! Lots of ways to connect with Battle Point Observatory this September. Check out descriptions below, and sign up as a volunteer at https://bpastro.org/volunteer/ to see more details.
NASA TechRise Student Challenge
Battle Point Observatory has been made aware of a very exciting opportunity for students in grades 6-12: The NASA TechRise Student Challenge. Every year, teams are invited to come together to design an experiment that will fly on a commercial space-industry suborbital flight.
Education Opportunities Through BI Parks and Rec!
The first sessions of our fall classes, offered in the BI Parks and Rec Fall catalog, are happening this month!
Planet Pioneers (ages 8–12) and Galaxy Guild (ages 13–17) are back with all-new content, and we’re excited to introduce a trial run of our brand-new adult series: Introduction to Astronomy 101 (ages 16+). You asked for adult classes, and we heard you. We hope you’ll join us for this exciting new venture!
