YouthAstroNet Application
Dear STEM and STEAM Educators and Youth Service Providers,

We want YOU!!! The Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian is seeking facilitators of STEM and STEAM programs for middle school aged learners, both in and out of school, to participate in our YouthAstroNet Project. Funded by the National Science Foundation, the YouthAstroNet program provides youth with access to real telescopes, and engages them in using the tools and techniques of professional scientists. YouthAstroNet has been shown to increase youth STEM career interest and science identity. 

Educators who participate in the project also contribute to research on STEM learning by having their students complete pre and post surveys and will receive $500 for this participation. Learn more about the project and research here: https://youthastronet.sites.cfa.harvard.edu/faq

Fill out this form to join us in exploring the universe with young people!
We look forward to meeting you, and including you in the project.

Mary Dussault, Principal Investigator
