Realizing the enormous power that astronomy has to inspire curiosity and critical thinking, we at PACS e-Lab have chosen to use astronomy and space science activities to support STEM learning across Africa.

[Pan - African Citizen Science e - Laboratory 🌍 @pacselab]

It is easy to see young learners say, "Oh, they discovered a formula," or, "Oh, they are deriving and inventing new equations." These patterns have been observed particularly among those with interests in mathematics and astrophysics.

These two fields often trigger curiosity to its fullest extent.

However, much of this work may not follow the proper scientific process. Often, students watch a few documentary videos on YouTube, carry out some calculations or investigations, and immediately feel compelled to

🌍🔭 Congratulations to all the citizen scientists who participated in the May–June 2026 Pan-African Asteroid Search Campaign! ✨
Your dedication to citizen science, asteroid discovery, scientific research, and collaboration continues to demonstrate the growing strength of

[Pan - African Citizen Science e - Laboratory 🌍 @pacselab]

STEM across Africa.
The 2025/2026 academic session of our asteroid search program has officially come to an end. The 2026/2027 session will commence in August 2026. Until then, it's holiday time for our asteroid hunters—enjoy the break and celebrate your achievements!
