approximately 5000 teachers around the world this year!! Now GHOU is one
of the largest coordinated astronomy education networks in the world, and
a pathfinder

Now, to continue building momentum:

The first three days (GTTP) will be training on the use of several new,
great emerging
resources (the Universe Quest Game, GHOU activities -- Exo-planets!,
International Asteroid Search
Campaign!, Measuring the Expanding Universe from Supernovae!, etc.)

The registration forms and detailed program will appear soon on the site
