The Northwest Florida State College observatory and the NWFAA hosted Cub Scout pack 556 to aid in their STEM curriculum. The group of 17 very enthusiastic scouts and leaders started with a tour of the observatory.
We then went down to the classroom for a presentation on the Astronomy science that local observatories accomplish including science that the scouts could participate in. Once that was done the scouts, leaders, parents and siblings took the classroom telescopes out to the observing deck and viewed the Moon and other objects that were bright enough to make it through the moonlit sky.
Club members supporting the event were:
Andrew Christy
Ariana Delamata
George & Renee Gollehon
Dave Halupowski
Tom Haugh
