The Schools' Observatory

The Schools' Observatory, established in collaboration with Liverpool John Moores University and the Faulkes Telescope Project, represents a groundbreaking initiative aimed at making astronomy accessible to students. Operating since the early 2000s, it features the world’s largest fully robotic telescope, enabling users to capture real-time cosmic events, such as supernova explosions and comet passes. This innovative platform provides schools with free resources, allowing them to conduct hundreds of thousands of celestial observations and engage millions in space education over the past 15 years.

The Schools’ Observatory provides an enriching STEM experience for students of all ages, offering resources for preschool families, educational materials, and career guidance within the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Its mission extends beyond classroom learning, inspiring curiosity about the universe, fostering critical thinking, and equipping young people with essential skills for their future. By bridging the gap between technology and education, The Schools' Observatory invites everyone to explore the wonders of space.
