Astronomy lessons
Sterrenkunde lesjes
Lessons typically last 1-2 hours (plus 1 hour for set up and clean up).
I can give the lessons listed here / hier or create something new on an astronomical topic of your choice.
We do a related craft after the lesson, which comes with material costs (typically €10-30).
If you or your organization doesn't have funding for such activities, please contact me and we can work something out!
The most important thing is spreading positive experiences with science and a love of the universe!
Proposal figures
It can be beneficial to make your research ideas and proposal plans understandable to non-experts. As you are not guaranteed reading committee members from your field, you will benefit from graphics that make your plans clear and understandable.
I create these graphics using various types of software and iterate with you until we agree that I have created a figure that is true to your science, while maximizing understanding. (Example here)
This is quicker for astronomical topics, but I have also created figures for geology, chemistry, and biology projects and I'm always happy to try something new!
See the PRELIFE collaboration webpage for some examples of my grant proposal figures.
School Workshops
Hands-on science sessions tailored to curriculum standards. From planetary science to chemical reactions, I bring the wonder of discovery right into your classroom.
Science Parties
Celebrate birthdays or events with interactive demonstrations, cosmic crafts, and unforgettable science experiments that make learning feel like magic.
Public Talks
Engaging presentations for festivals, libraries, or community centers. Learn about black holes, exoplanets, astrochemistry, and more — explained simply and beautifully.
Custom Programs
Need something specific? We design custom programs for schools, organizations, or special occasions — from multi-week summer camps to themed science nights.
Teacher Training
Empower educators with tools and knowledge to teach science creatively and confidently. Includes ready-to-use lesson plans and hands-on activities.
Virtual Sessions
Interactive science experiences delivered online. Perfect for remote classrooms or connecting with curious minds around the world.
Workshops on EDI in Academia
Creating an inclusive work and study environment is essential for fostering collaboration and innovation. In my workshops, I guide university departments through practical strategies and tools to promote diversity and inclusion.
