Telescopes to Tanzania
The future of children's science education in Tanzania is looking brighter than ever! Our Indiegogo campaign was a great success, we made our goal thanks to some outstanding donations! Our founders, Sue and Chuck Ruehle were so estatic with the results that they had to put out a special thank you video.

Global Pairing Program
As our world grows ever more complex, we are seeing the pace of scientific discovery quicken, especially in our understanding of the Universe and ability to explore the night sky with new technologies and techniques. Taking advantage of these rapid changes in astronomy becomes ever more challenging, especially for new and growing international astronomy clubs.

That is where an advanced...

A Standard 6 student looks through a telescope for the first time during a science workshop at Kalinga Primary School in northern Tanzania Ngongongare head girl - Veronica Andrew and head boy Dickson Girard shared their report about the school that said: "We don't have a laboratory for biology, chemistry, and physics.

Mponda Malazo, AWB's Tanzanian colleague, teaches students about solar dynamics. Another solar viewing telescope with a sun-funnel will be on its way...
Earth Master Sample
World Space Week needs your help, and it's easy to do all it requires is a fist-sized rock from your neighbourhood.

Crystal producer Swarovski will then make 100 crystals from this powder. Swarovski plans to show off the crystals during Yuri's Night...
