About

The mission of the IAU Office of Astronomy for Education (OAE) is to support professional astronomers and astronomy educators worldwide as they use astronomy for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics ) teaching and education from elementary to high school level. This is supported by a network of IAU National Astronomy Education Coordinator Teams (NAEC Teams), which will represent the interface between the IAU OAE and the education community in each team’s country.
