Through our groundbreaking partnership with the University of Chicago Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics, STARR launched the first and only community-based astronomy program serving an underserved Chicago neighborhood. Students and families gain access to telescopes, solar observation activities, and university-level expertise that would otherwise be inaccessible to low-income and minority communities. From backyard stargazing nights to hands-on sessions with real astrophysicists, our Astronomy program helps youth see themselves reaching for the STARRs, literally and figuratively.
