Project ASTRO is a national program that creates long-term partnerships between astronomers and teachers or youth group and community leaders.  

The philosophy behind Project ASTRO is that students learn best when using hands-on inquiry-based activities in combination with a constructivist approach to teaching.  The astronomer is a resource for the teacher both in and outside the classroom and provides students with the unique opportunity to have long-term interactions with a scientist.
