International Astronomical Youth Camp 2010

[IWA]

Imagine spending 3 weeks working with other students from all over the world on an astronomical project of your choice. If you enjoy watching starry skies and would like to meet people who are interested in astronomy - consider applying for the International Astronomical Youth Camp.

The International Astronomical Youth Camp (IAYC) is a three-week long summer camp for students aged 16-24 aiming to promote knowledge on astronomy and related sciences in a unique international atmosphere. Each year it takes place at a different location, this year it will take place in the small town of Klingenthal in the East of Germany between 1.08 and 21.08.2010. As a participant you will explore astronomy related projects in one of the 8 working groups - together with other young people. These projects are done in a working group of your choice and depend on your own interest. The working groups themselves will be led by young scientists and concentrate on a specific field in astronomy. This year these are:

Astronomy and Life,

Basic Astronomy and More,

Fundamental Laws in Physics and AStronomy,

Galactic Masses,

Hands on Astronomy,

iBot - IAYC Robotics Extravaganza,

Superhot Emitters -- the X-ray Introduction,Astronomy and Life,

Of course apart from the astronomical program, there are many non-astronomical activities such as group games, sport events, singing evenings, hiking tours and an excursion.
