Theydon Bois AstroKyds

Astronomy and space for kids

Please click here for new website. Just a bit of space

Astrokyds is a group for young astronomers (6+ years) run by some of the LAS members. It is held once a month in term time on the second Friday of the month from 6:30 - 8:00 p.m. at St Mary's Church Hall, Coppice Row, Theydon Bois. There is ample car parking. We do not meet in August or April.

Activities include simple experiments, audience participation, demonstrations, show and tell, quizzes, mythology of the constellations and, if clear, some real observing. The aim is to kindle the interests rather than to provide a formal course in astronomy. Some of the more advanced young astronomers help out with some of the talks and demonstrations.

If you think your young astronomer(s) would like to join, email us on the Contact us page.
