Report

As part of our endeavor to spreading around the knowledge of astronomy among the publics in this region; AOYA [Association of Young astronomers] offered free astronomy classes to the kids of International Maarif Schools in Erbil; Kurdistan Region of Iraq. Today the first batch of kids was introduced to the basics astronomy; the kids have learned how to find their way in the night sky and they custom made their own star wheels!

The initial class was very successful and informative; therefore AOYA will continue its relentless efforts with the other batches this program in the coming few weeks. AOYA will also call those kids and their parents into an actual night time observation sessions as soon sky clears up!
