Makers & Telescope Makers Meet

You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to make your own telescope. With a few tools, wood, glass and metal you can create telescopes that will show you the moon’s craters as if you were flying above them, the rings of Saturn, stars being born and die and even another galaxy!

The Toronto Tool Library East is hosting the Telescope Makers of Southern Ontario group. The program for this afternoon is:

• Quick overview of what you can make telescope wise and why people are making telescopes.
• An introduction to the Tool Library and Maker’s space.
• Show and tell of telescope projects in progress. People help each other out with suggestions and ideas.
• Shop, library and maker’s space tour. Time to socialize and ask questions, look at the scopes.
• If it’s clear some astronomy from the sidewalk. Jupiter and a young moon will be up!

This for anyone who would like to know more about telescope making and if you are telescope making then this afternoon is a great introduction to the Tool Library and Maker’s space.
