Stop by the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) table to learn about Smithsonian STARS, a nationwide educational initiative that expands access to astronomy education for rural schools through telescopes, educator support, and standards-aligned lesson plans. We believe the sky belongs to everyone, geography shouldn't limit access to high-quality STEM learning. Chat with our team to explore the core elements of the program, preview observation projects and classroom activities, and learn about SAO's broader educational resources for all classrooms.
