Observation
Learn how to look carefully, record what you see, and understand the night sky.
For students
Build your path into astronomy, space science, and STEM.
You do not need to own a telescope or already know astronomy. If you are curious, willing to learn, and interested in science, the Aquila Team pathway is being built for students like you.
What students can explore
Real science skills, not just telescope time.
Data and research habits
Practice careful notes, repeatable methods, basic analysis, and science communication.
Community science
Help connect local skywatching, outreach, citizen science, and STEM learning in the Northwoods.
Aquila Team
A student pathway being built step by step.
Aquila Team is being developed as a youth astronomy and STEM pathway connected to 46 North Astronomy Center. Early interest from students and teachers helps shape what the program becomes.
- Who should consider it?Students interested in space, science, technology, nature, engineering, data, photography, communication, or learning something new.
- Do I need equipment?No. The pathway is being designed so students can start with curiosity and commitment, not expensive gear.
- What happens after I submit interest?46 North will use student and educator interest to plan future opportunities, outreach, and program structure.
Youth safety note: Youth programs will use appropriate parent/guardian permissions, school or partner coordination where applicable, adult supervision, and 46 North youth-protection expectations.
