The launch of the Galileoscope Project organized by the Department of Physics, UWI, Mona, the Ministry of Education and the Astronomical Association of Jamaica for Thursday, September 30, 2010 has been postponed. A new date will be announced.

The Project will see the distribution of 400 telescopes also known as Galileoscopes to secondary schools across Jamaica in order for the establishment of Astro Clubs. This will serve to improve the teaching of specific topics on the Caribbean Secondary School Examination Council (CSEC) and Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examinations (CAPE) Physics syllabus and develop awareness of the telescope’s use for the viewing of the wonders of the sky.
