🌌🚀 WORLD SPACE WEEK LIBERIA 2026 | ASTROTOUR HIGHLIGHTS! 🇱🇷✨

Bringing the wonders of the universe closer to young Liberians! 🌍🔭

As part of World Space Week Liberia 2026, coordinated by the Liberian Astronomical Society (LAS), students from Science Plus Liberia’s after-school STEAM programme participated in an AstroTour activity at the Orange Digital Center in Monrovia. 🪐🌠

The activity offered an opportunity to engage with astronomy in an interactive setting and reinforced the importance of making space science more accessible to young people in Liberia.

Although time constraints meant that not all the planned activities could take place, we are grateful to everyone who participated and contributed to the AstroTour. Each opportunity to introduce young people to astronomy is a step toward nurturing curiosity, scientific thinking, and a stronger STEM community in Liberia.

We extend our sincere appreciation to Science Plus Liberia, STEMarts Lab, and the Africa Ambassadors for their collaboration, contributions, and support throughout this experience. We are grateful to everyone who gave their time, expertise, and resources to help make this activity possible. 🤝🏿❤️

At LAS, we remain committed to building meaningful partnerships and creating more opportunities for young Liberians to discover, learn, and lead in astronomy and space science.

This is part of a larger journey. We will continue learning, improving, and working toward a future where more young Liberians can explore the universe and see themselves as part of humanity’s space journey. 🚀🌍
