Our first education toolkit will be arriving soon from the NASA Night
Sky Network. The "Glass and Mirrors ToolKit" is being provided in time
for the rebroadcast of "400 Years of the Telescope" on PBS on April 9.
The kit includes lenses and mirrors along with a detailed script for
giving a demonstration of concepts like focal length.
Should be a nice daylight activity for Astronomy Day in April though
it may be used for any club activity in the future.
