Welcome school astronomy club leaders – student and teacher.
This website has almost 200 ideas. Click the blue Elementary or Secondary button to get a list of 8 categories such as “Activities”, “Observing” and “ClubRun”. Click a category to get lists with brief descriptions. Click interesting ones to get information, often including files you may copy and presentations. Good luck! More thoughts below.
The ClubRun ideas are especially useful when starting. Consider getting a person such as a parent to help with copying and buying some materials like dry ice. Discuss vetting procedures with your Principal. It’s worthwhile to connect with a local astronomy club. They might provide a speaker or run a Star Party at your school for club members and families. Curious students will ask challenging questions, and don’t feel you have to know the answer. It can be posed to a club email list and someone might help.
