Providing astronomy education was a major focus of the Carter Observatory. It is a resolution of the Carter Observatory board that: "The Carter Observatory will provide education and learning experiences in astronomy for the public, for students and for amateur astronomers that are both authoritative and stimulating; and which excite the young to seek further involvement with science and technology."
Please note that school group visits are not available at the present time as the Carter Observatory building is undergoing a redevelopment to provide new displays and make it more visitor friendly.
