Passing on experience The OAOG has long strived to share astronomy with the public, to try to expose people to the hobby and get them more involved in it. Before I joined the group in 2009, it was common for the OAOG members to have workshops at the group's monthly "Gabfest"; a casual meeting where members sit and chat about astronomy or whatever interests them. The workshops gradually disappeared, but the interest in them has not. For that reason a number of OAOG members have come together to organise workshops again. There is a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience out there amongst our group members, and the workshop is a perfect way to share that knowledge with other people interested in astronomy.This webpage will maintain links to any presentation material generated as part of past workshops. Notice of upcoming workshops will be posted here, on the Groups.io group for the OAOG, and on the Ottawa Astronomy Meetup Group. Anyone who is interested in attending a workshop is welcome to, I just ask that you let me know beforehand so I know how many people to expect. A map to where the workshops are held is located here. We will also try to broadcast our workshops live for those who are out of town or can't otherwise make it in person. Cheers, Jim T. EDIT (13-Dec-2013): The organisers of this workshop series (myself, Rob Lavoie, and Simon Hanmer) have recently been in discussions with the Ottawa chapter of RASC. The objective of the discussions is to expand the scope of the workshops and to bring together these two groups in the interest of sharing knowledge and expanding involvement in amateur astronomy. Look for information regarding OAWS to be available on the RASC Ottawa website as well as during monthly RASC meetings. |
