Description:
The Africa Millimetre Telescope (AMT) UNAM Mobile Planetarium, a student-led outreach initiative supported by Nedbank and the Netherlands Research School for Astronomy, has expanded its team in response to growing demand from schools across Namibia. With the addition of 8 students and 1 staff member, the presenter team now totals 18. A two-week training led by Dutch experts Prof. Joanna Holt and Maaike Pierik equipped the new team with advanced astronomy knowledge and technical skills for dome operations. This expansion enhances the programme’s capacity to deliver immersive cosmic experiences and supports the broader AMT mission to contribute to the global Event Horizon Telescope network.
