North Shore Amateur Astronomy Club 5th Annual

Young Astronomer Program

 What is it?

The Young Astronomer Program is an essay contest for students in grades 4 through 8. Students interested in winning a 6 inch Newtonian Reflecting telescope on a Dobsonian mount, or a pair of 10 X 50 astronomical quality binoculars, are nominated by their science teacher to enter the contest. Nominated students then submit an essay up to 150 words describing their interest in astronomy. Winning entries will also receive a one year family membership in NSAAC.

 When is it?

Your teacher submits the completed essay and nomination to us. The next program will be in the spring of 2011.

 Thank you for your interest in our Young Astronomer Program! If you have any questions you may contact the YAP Coordinator, Kevin Ackert, at 978-663-5305.
