In the summer of 2010, Saint Mary’s Department of Astronomy and
Physics will be again hosting a 3-day astronomy seminar for teachers
seeking to enhance their skills and resources. The workshop, called
STARS (Summer Teachers' Astronomy Resource Seminar) is geared to
teachers who want to get the best resources and activity ideas for
teaching astronomy to their students. The particular focus is on
grade-9 curriculum requirements, but the seminar is suitable for
anybody teaching science at the junior high and high school levels.

Here are some of the comments we received from last year's participants:

"This was a tremendous workshop, well worth the time I gave. Team was fantastic; well organized and executed; facilities awesome. "

" The presenters were wonderful at delivering much information in an accessible format - and so passionate about their subject."

" I really enjoyed this course. The material provided answered many questions that I have and will definitely be an asset for the delivery of the Grade 9 unit on space".
