Radio Astronomy For Education

The Radio Astronomy for Education project aims at providing a complete package to build a teaching radio observatory from scratch. The SKA project will stimulate the science communities not only in South Africa and the SKA partner countries but it will attract scientists from around the world. Involving learners and teachers in that thriving adventure is primordial as it will satisfy the growing need for competent assets. Building a teaching radio observatory covers a broad variety of skills spanning from science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). It is thus a perfect multidisciplinary project for Science Faculties.
