While I can not take credit for this idea, I am happy to try and participate in it...at my oldest son's primary school, one of the Dad's offered to host an astronomy night...the school librarian got the group access to the library and the organizer ran through a little astronomy talk before taking all of the interested kids (and parents) out for a look through a telescope or two...
This school group is what helped get my son interested in Astronomy/Space and allowed me to convince my wife that we needed "stuff" (to support our son's interest...I of course acting "unselfishly" in my role as a caring parent have had to get re-acclimated to astronomy to help him learn)
All joking aside, the act of volunteering to show the kids a little about astronomy got me back into something that I really enjoy and hopefully spills over to my kids...
Needless to say at the next asronomy night at the school we (me and 2 boys)will be there with our scope!
