IntroStars

theTo begin your astronomy research, Boyce-Astro provides our FREE  IntroSTARS self-paced online course. You will learn the basic astrophysics needed to do your research and author your scientific poster or paper. The course has about 5 hours of videos plus a study guide on topics you will need to master before taking any Boyce-Astro courses.  It is the prerequisite for all Boyce-Astro courses. Once you have completed it and the final short Quiz, you will be eligible to take any of our courses or seminars. Don’t get rushed. Sign up and start early.

Immediately after you sign up, a new web page will open with the link to get started on the course – as your time allows. Be sure to bookmark the page or save the URL so you can go back each time you want to move ahead to the next lesson or module.

You may apply for a class anytime during the year. A few weeks before a new class, you will be invited to take the short final “open book” Quiz about the IntroSTARS materials to see if you are prepared to take the class. We allow about a week for you to complete the Quiz. Those who pass may then proceed. See our annual calendar for upcoming seminars and plan accordingly.
