Paul (1ponders) and myself both volunteer our time at the Mapleton Observatory here on the Sunshine Coast, this observatory would be the envy of most of us and is free to any school that wants to use it, we did a presentation to grade 3'ers just last Tuesday that went very well. I spend an awful lot of time with kids presenting to them the universe for free, send the poor little blighters up here, we'll edjamakate them. BTW, when it comes to kids under 7, stick with solar system and use a good relief eye piece, I can't recommend highly enough a 35mm Teleview Panoptic for this very purpose, stay away from deep sky stuff, they just don't get it. My favourite part of these presentation is the questions, particularly from 7-10 year olds, they are just the best, old enough to think of some beauties, young enough to ask them.
