Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network (LCOGTN) is a privately-funded, non-profit organisation that is creating a cutting edge science programme paired with an innovative education programme. We are building two networks of telescopes in rings in both the Northern and Southern hemispheres for complete sky coverage, all of which will be equipped with high-quality, science-grade instrumentation. The telescopes will be completely robotic with the ability to be controlled by anyone, from anywhere with a broadband internet connection. Accompanying the observations will be a library of resources and activities including how to plan and carry out an observing session as well as several activities and project ideas to carry out in both formal and informal education settings. The goal is not to produce more astronomers, but to encourage a new understanding of science and technology that people will be able to apply to any field that is studied.
