Feynman Observatory supports primary and secondary science education using hands-on astronomical observation programs. All observing programs will be customized to the needs of the participants. Specialized programs can also be arranged for local community groups with an interest in astronomy.
Observing programs can range from single evening (or one day) sky tours, to more advanced observations carried out over many nights. Because Feynman Observatory is located in an area of moderate light pollution, programs are limited to brighter objects, such as the Sun, Moon, planets, asteroids and globular clusters. For more comprehensive programs, educators are

strongly encouraged to review the Astronomical League Observing Clubs for examples of the type of programs appropriate to primary and secondary students. For scout leaders interested in conducting all or part of an existing scouting astronomy program at Feynman Observatory, please be prepared to provide a copy of the program requirements.
