Hi All,

See this article in the Sydney Morning Herald, 30th September 2010:

Excellent programme!

Brilliant!!!!

There should be a lot more of it, these types of programs should be Australia wide.

See one of the students has decided on a career in astronomy

Hope a few more go that way too

This is terrific !!

A great way to invest a modest amount whilst providing such coverage ..

The $2.4 million Space to Grow program, which is funded by the Australian Research Council, gives about 7000 students and 200 teachers from 40 schools remote access to the Faulkes telescopes in Hawaii and Coonabarabran.

… and at its core … teaching kids to think in a structured way.

Great to see a good investment, every now and again !

Thanks Les.

Cheers
