Astro Clubs

The AAJ launched it's first school Astro Club in 2010 in partnership with the Campion High School in Kingston.

The Astro Club initiative aims to bring the wonders of the skies into the Jamaican classroom and the eyes and minds of students in Jamaica. It involves the distribution of Galileoscopes to schools which commit to using them in curricular and extracurricular activities. Teachers are trained how to assemble and use the Galileoscopes where the AAJ experts also instruct them on useful modifications.

The AAJ is actively looking for partner schools in its Astro Clubs initiative - interested parties may contact us by following the Contact link in the sidebar.
