About the program
Are you fascinated by astronomy? Would you like to learn how to find planets, stars and galaxies in the night sky? Would you like to share your passion for astronomy with others? If you answered yes to these questions, then the Dudley Observatory Rising Star Internship is for you!
The Dudley Observatory is looking for students (grades 6-10) and teachers (grades K-12) who would like to participate in the rising star internship program. We will teach you how to navigate the night sky, how to operate a telescope, and some of the science related to the stars, nebulae and galaxies you can observe from your own backyard. Upon fulfilling the program requirements, you will be awarded a telescope to keep, so that you have the equipment, knowledge and experience to host your own star party with family, friends and the public. In return, we ask that you join us for Dudley Observatory events to share your knowledge with the public.
We are currently looking for donations and sponsors for the Rising Star Internship program. Help us share the night sky with others by making a tax-deductible donation today!
