A 10-step Guide to Becoming an Awesome Amateur Astronomer
The Awesome Amateur Astronomer website provides a 10-step guide for kids wanting to know what it takes to become an astronomer. Starting with naked-eye observations of the night sky, a day-trip to your local planetarium or looking at a map of the stars, children don't need any previous experience to take part. The guide let's participants move through the steps at their own pace and by the end they'll have all the skills of a professional astronomer; the ability to research, measure, observe and even build their own tools!
