Kaua'i Educational Association for Science and Astronomy (KEASA) was established in 1989 for the purpose of providing an outlet for those amateur astronomers on Kaua'i who are interested in being actively involved in astronomy and in offering astronomical education for the general public.
KEASA targets its educational activities at the school-age population in particular, but also serves the needs of adult learners, employers and the community as a whole. One of the needs to which KEASA responds is the requirement for a technically and scientifically literate workforce. The schools on Kaua'i do not have an aerospace nor astronomy curriculum. In the opinion of KEASA's membership, Kaua'i is an ideal location for astronomical observing appropriate to a student oriented educational program. KEASA creates a resource for schools and the general public which will encourage and facilitate interest and expertise in science, and astronomy in particular.
KEASA meets for
Starwatches monthly
on the closest Saturday to the New Moon (
the dark one).

KEASA is partially funded by the state through Kaua'i Community College and is associated with KCC through one of its founders, Dr. Marshall Mock, who teaches physics and astronomy there. It is further funded by donations from eleemosynary groups and interested individuals, as well as its own members. |
