Astronomy Outreach and Education
DSBK presents updates to the scientific community each year, about new curriculum, developing collaborations, and major achievements, at the biannual meetings of the American Astronomical Society. These presentations allow us to reflect on the past year, and introduce plans and ideas for the coming years!
