KIDS SKY EXPLORATION PROJECT

Kids Sky Exploration Project was launched by the National Commission for UNESCO of Republic of Tanzania in the year of 2010 after the proclamation of the International Year of Astronomy by the UNESCO Headquarter in Paris. The Kids Sky Project aimed at increasing curiosity and critical minds among children and young people about our universe. This project was carried out in different Regions in Tanzania mainland as well as Tanzania Island in Zanzibar. The project involved different schools from primary to secondary level.

However the Kids Exploration Project went hand by hand with the donation of Telescopes to the schools and Colleges in order to raise awareness about the universe through the exploration of the sky by using the Telescope. The National Commission for UNESCO of Republic of Tanzania donated several Telescopes to schools and colleges as well as to other Educational Institutions in many parts of Tanzania in order to manage the project of Sky Exploration.
