Description
The Pan-African Citizen Science e-Lab (PACS e-Lab) is an online platform that engages Africans, including those in North Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa, in hands-on activities in space science and astronomy. We run five main projects, including exoplanet observations, asteroid searches, deep space image processing, double star research, and ARISS.
Since its founding in December 2020, we have engaged over 1,000 individuals across 45 countries in Africa and made numerous contributions to astronomy, including the discovery of over 30 asteroids, the publication of over 12 scientific papers, and the generation of several photometric light curves of exoplanets. Our platform is the fastest-growing of its kind in Africa.
During the conference, I will elaborate on these efforts and our achievements.
