As part of National Science Week there is an Open Day planned at the Telescope and Grote Reber Museum.

Learn about the science of radio astronomy and the history of Grote Reber, experience the Telescope Control Room and view the 26m dish antenna at this annual event. A great day out for families, with tours of the facility, 3D movies, face painting, BBQ, water rockets and many other events.

One of the challenges of growing the hobby is engaging new members from an ever increasingly diverse community.

Training Officer Louise Adams from Equal Opportunity Tasmania will this month be presenting an overview of discrimination law, lead a discussion into respectful and inclusive practices, and provide tips on recognising and dealing with discriminatory or inappropriate behaviour.

Please come along to the REAST clubroom on top of the Queens Domain for this topic.

REAST has scheduling Foundation training on the 3rd Saturday of every second month.

That is February, April, June August, October and December.
