ASTRO 3D Education and Outreach programs aim to increase public interest in our research and inspire young Australians.

Education

ASTRO 3D uses the best evidence-based education and classroom programs to:

  • inspire the next generation of astronomers who will work on the new ground and space telescopes
  • inspire more students to pursue a career in STEM
  • help create more scientifically literate citizens, who can relate the work of astronomers to the content of their lessons

Outreach

Our Outreach programs are broad-ranging, designed to help as many people as possible see what our astronomers are uncovering about the Universe and to help support scientifically-literate citizens.

Some of our Outreach activities include:

  • Science events and public days, such as Science Week events and various Astrofests around the country
  • Public talks and lectures by our astronomers
  • Video explainers of our science and people
  • Science/Arts cooperative events
  • Social media – Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube
  • Media releases on our latest discoveries and events
