Check for Teacher Workshops in your area or online.

An educational program aiming to involve 3,000 schools (1,000 in the USA) in the tracking and exploration of the Kepler telescope data to discover Earth-size planets in the close Milky Way proximity.

The staff of the Kepler Education and Public Outreach program gratefully recognizes and acknowledges the contributions of the astronomy department at Western Kentucky University for their efforts in planning KeplerNet, a proposed system of college observatories involved in projects associated with Kepler, even though that project ultimately could not be pursued due to budget constraints.
