Description
In Nigeria, where opportunities for astronomy education have historically been limited, the "Asthera" Astronomy outreach program is fostering meaningful development by inspiring scientific curiosity, creative learning, and a sense of wonder among young scientists. Through these outreaches children/students are introduced to the fundamentals of Space science through interactive activities such as solar systems exploration, telescope assembling, sun gazing, science story telling and reading. These hands-on experiences are strengthening early interest in STEM and encouraging scientific thinking. This programs adds to the growing efforts across Nigeria to build a strong foundation for astronomy awareness and youth engagement.
