Career Discovery

Space isn't just for rocket scientists and astronauts. With aerospace industry partners, Slooh's industry certification program inspires, prepares, and ultimately employs the future space workforce. Slooh's career badges include Space Situational Awareness (SSA), Satellite IT, Science Communications, and Citizen Science.

Career case study: from Slooh to Stanford and NASA JPL

Independent Study Programs

Slooh facilitates a variety of independent study programs in citizen science, workforce development, and science communications. Among many options, students can:
  • create a portfolio of their work and learn to publish articles in science journals.
  • form and manage an astronomy club to engage all students, teachers, and parents in your community.
  • create a poster for your science fair and Slooh's Astronomy Fair competition
  • learn to host live and recorded celestial Star Parties 
  • learn from industry professionals to develop skills for the space workforce

Student-led Space Explorers Club

High school students form and manage a school district-wide club as an independent study project to engage all students, teachers and parents in your community. It is like a school newspaper led by students and maintained from year to year under the supervision of a teacher/administrator. Slooh will mentor club leaders with younger students in apprenticeship roles as elementary and middle school representatives.

With Slooh’s district license, all students, teachers and parents have access including:
 
  • Live Star Parties featuring amazing celestial events
  • Independent study programs in citizen science, careers in space and science communications
  • Classroom research projects and science fair poster creation
  • Summer school offered directly to students on Slooh

Any teacher, even those without a background in science or astronomy, can easily lead space investigations with Slooh’s integrated support. We equip teachers with the knowledge and confidence to facilitate space exploration with learners of all ages.

Slooh is much more than online observatories. It is patented technology delivering the cosmos live and in full color. It is a curation of the 1,000 most wondrous stars, planets, nebulae, galaxies, comets and asteroids with their stories passed down since antiquity. It is a telescope reservation system that makes shared control with a global community more fun, social and educational, with advanced control for deeper investigation.
Australian Observatory
Launching in early 2024, Slooh's new Australian observatory will extend Slooh's live coverage to 24 hours per day. The observatory, located a stone's throw from the world-class Siding Spring Observatory, will house a new research-grade Half Meter telescope. 
Chile Observatory
Slooh’s southern hemisphere observatory, in partnership with the Catholic University, features three telescopes offering complete coverage of the rich southern skies. 
Slooh is your interface to space
Canary Islands Observatory
Slooh’s flagship observatory features six telescopes and is situated at 9,000 feet at the Institute of Astrophysics of the Canary Islands, home to the largest optical telescope in the world. The time zone shift makes daytime astronomy possible in the United States.
