Join us for an afternoon of astronomy on Saturday May 15 from 2:00pm to 5:00pm as we celebrate a promising group of middle and high school students from communities around Greater Boston. You will engage in astronomy activities, attend poster presentations, explore an interactive science exhibit, and enjoy planetarium shows and science-theater performances.

Astronomy in the City, so called in reference to the urban areas served by our programs, is a showcase for the science after-school initiatives promoted by the Education and Outreach Group at the MIT Kavli Institute for Astrophysics and Space Research. At this event, youth from communities in Boston share insights about their personal exploration of the universe with participants in the event.

During a dynamic poster session middle and high school students and adults -including families, community members and MKI researchers - are able to mingle and talk with each other about their astronomy projects and science learning experiences.
