NOIRLab - NSF NOIRLab and Project ASTRO

Project ASTRO was started by the Astronomical Society of the Pacific in 1994 and expanded to NSF NOIRLab (formerly the National Optical Astronomy Observatory) in 1996. This podcast tells the story of how Project ASTRO has been working to improve science education for almost 30 years at NSF NOIRLab.    Hosted by Rob Sparks of the Communications, Education and Engagement group at NSF’s NOIRLab in Tucson, Arizona.
