[AstroNet] Global Hands-On Universe

[Astronomy education in SA - email discussion group]

A very very cool astronomy education programme!
The link to the EU site is http://www.euhou.net/
I believe the Global site is being worked on.
There is also an African Hands-On Universe! (yup - watch this space...)

A snippet from the website: " The EU-HOU project ("Hands-On Universe, 
Europe. Bringing frontline interactive astronomy to the classroom") is 
in keeping with the general goal of renewing the teaching of science. A 
re-awakening of interest for science in the young generation is foreseen 
through astronomy and the use of new technologies, which should 
challenge middle and high schools pupils. "
