Outreach & Media

Astronomy belongs in classrooms, communities, and public conversation.

Silvana creates spaces where scientific ideas can be experienced—not only heard—and where students can imagine a place for themselves in the Universe.

AstroCamp: Explorers of the Universe

For three days in Baños de Agua Santa, Ecuador’s first university astronomy camp brought together 60 students, five professional speakers, and a network of institutions. The program blended research talks, scaled astronomy in the streets, night-sky observation, nature, and community.

Silvana organized the camp around one guiding idea: science stops feeling distant when it becomes an experience shared with others.
