Austin Astronomical Society Youth Program:

The AAS Young Astronomers!

The Young Astronomers are on hiatus but will be back!

AAS Young Astronomers:

• An Austin Astronomical Society program for youth, ages 8 – 18, that involves them in astronomy, provides a sound foundation and peer group involvement. AAS Youth Program Committee and AAS mentors provide oversight.
   
• All young persons are invited to attend! Young Astronomers are encouraged to be club members; but, like AAS, all meetings are open to the public.
   
• Youth led, adult mentored. Represented on the AAS Board and the Youth Program Committee by the AAS Junior Member-at-Large.
   
• Special programs each month, specific to Young Astronomer’s interests.
   
• Young Astronomer observing nights in the Austin area and field trips as the program develops. (Parental involvement required!)
   
• Recognize achievements of our youth through the Astronomical League’s National Young Astronomer and Horkheimer Service Awards, as well as AAS Young Astronomer Certificates.
