Scientific paper

In Summer and Fall 2006, the Hands-On Optics program of the National Optical
Astronomy Observatory (NOAO) teamed up with two local Boys and Girls Clubs in the Tucson area to conduct informal education programs for elementary and middle school aged children. Hands-On Optics (HOO) is a collaborative program
funded by NSF to create and sustain a unique, national, informal science
education program to excite students about science by actively engaging them in optics activities. The program was designed especially to reach underserved
students. In this talk, the successes and challenges of implementing these programs will be discussed, as well as the lessons learned in the process,
which may be applied to other partnerships between EPO providers and informal learning venues.
