Review for Dudley Observatory, Schenectady, NY, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

It is an honor to speak to the many activities that the Dudley Observatory offers to people of all ages. I am so very impressed with the dedication (matched by no other) of the staff and volunteers to develop programs and bring the wonders of the universe to all of us. There are outstanding educational programs and a superb lecture series that allows us to see these wonderful scientists in action. The Rising Star Program actually gives a telescope to those accepted and allows the recipients ( both teachers and students alike) to augment their knowledge base and then pass that knowledge to others. Just check it out, go to the Dudley Observatory website and you will be very impressed!

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

my own classroom!It is vital to our core curriculum(across academics)to foster the desire in our students to seek out new knowledge,to observe the wonders that are above us in order to understand processes that helped to develop our Earth!

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

Meeting people who are passionate about all aspects of the observatory. I have learned SO much!

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

absolutely, without a doubt, the hardest working people I have every met!

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

Bring the present observatory to a new, more spacious "home" to accomodate more stduents and teachers and public events!
