The Elaine P. Snowden Astronomy School is a programme for students who are in Year 13 in 2025 and are interested in studying Astronomy or Physics at university.
The programme runs from 12 – 17 April and consists of a mix of seminars and practical work.
Ākonga | students travel to UC’s Mt John Observatory at Takapō | Tekapo and explore our cosmic neighbourhood with modern astronomical instruments.
Back at the University of Canterbury, participants learn about the universe past, present and future, the life cycles of stars, planet exploration, extraterrestrial life and more.
A highlight of the programme is meeting fellow students with the same astronomical interests and making new friends.
Thanks to a generous donation from a private sponsor, the Elaine P. Snowden Astronomy School is offered free of charge to successful applicants. Accommodation, meals, transport during the camp and materials are provided.
