I am a student in my final year of highschool. My passion for astronomy grew during a school science project, where I realised how much there was to explore beyond Earth. I founded this organisation to help make astronomy more accessible and inspiring for students nationwide!

I’m an astrophysicist and Senior Lecturer at Te Herenga Waka - Victoria University of Wellington. My research involves observing the largest structures in the Universe with radio and X-ray telescopes to try to understand how our Universe evolved and changed.

I am a secondary school teacher in Auckland with a longstanding passion for astronomy. I currently serve as the Executive Secretary of the Royal Astronomical Society of New Zealand. My professional focus is on advancing astronomy education and fostering scientific curiosity among secondary students throughout Aotearoa New Zealand.

I’m a retired teacher of Earth and Space Science. I taught Astronomy as part of Science courses until a new subject, Earth and Space Science, was created and resourced by me and a small team, at the request of the Ministry of Education in 2009. I especially love teaching and presenting about our SOlar System to students of all ages and to ‘non-specialist’ intelligent and curious adult audiences.
