Teacher Workshops in Astronomy
CSIRO Astronomy and Space Science (CASS) runs workshops to support science teachers around Australia. In addition to those we run ourselves our Education Officer and other staff present sessions at professional development opportunities organised by other groups such as the Australian Science Teachers Association and the various state Science Teachers' associations.
Details on recent and upcoming CASS workshops or other workshop sessions are provided below.
CASS Teacher Workshops for 2021
- Astronomy from the Ground Up! is our biannual three-day workshop held at the Parkes Observatory, in the shadow of "The Dish". Unfortunately due to ongoing COVID-19 uncertainties there are no plans to hold a workshop in 2021, we hope to offer one in 2022.
