The project “Astronomy Development for the Girl-Child Using Optical Telescope in Nigeria” is a unique project geared towards awakening the interest of the girl-child for active participation in astronomical activities. In Africa, the study of astronomy is lagging compared to what is obtainable in the western world. The story is not different in Nigeria as astronomy is not part of her secondary school curriculum. This project will bridge this gap by bringing astronomy education closer to the selected secondary schools in Enugu State, Nigeria.
