How you can help us? What we need?
You can help in many ways, even as an active volunteer! Or with non-monetary donations, by donating telescopes, computers, binoculars, microscopes, tablets, and anything that can contribute to any child’s education and happiness. You can also serve as an essential supporter for students and teachers, like as a transcribers for video translations and close caption. If your skill is to speak more than one language, feel free to assist translating, including sign language. And if you want to add and improve your technical knowledge, you are welcome to manage our website. If you are a law student, you can improve your knowledge and help with all the problems that a private foundation can find in their way.
And finally, of course, you can help us with money. Any amount it’s going to be really appreciated!

We just introduce a petition:
We encourage you to read and sign it. It’s about the constellations of low earth internet satellites (including Starlink) and the pollution of the night sky; this is a common interest for all of us. We intend to send this petition to all the companies and CEO’s. We need all your support! Please use this link to sign it:
Call to Internet satellite constellations companies to prevent the pollution of the night sky, and to help and collaborate with astronomers.
Don’t forget to talk about to your friends and family, thanks!

Astronomy taught us our insignificance in Nature.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The importance of this issue is not in dispute: there is no doubt about the effects that global warming is already causing in society, and more importantly, in nature.
IGAEF announces its partnership with “GW from Miami” to focus on this important issue. GW from Miami is a channel in Spanish, aimed at Latinos in both the USA and Latin America, and has its own Facebook page and YouTube channel. On this channel, weekly hour-and-a-half talks are given on the climate crisis, with scientific news and clarifying comments on what is presented. The level of the talks is for the general public, which makes it easier to understand the details and causes of the climate crisis, regardless of the educational level of the listener.
The broadcasts on the Facebook page are live on Sundays at 8 pm (Eastern time in the USA) and the videos are recorded there and then edited and published on the respective YouTube channel.
We invite you not only to attend the talks (where you will have the opportunity to adequately document the topic, and to ask any questions about it) but we would also appreciate your help in spreading the word about the channel and supporting it with your likes and subscriptions.

We are thrilled to announce our first journey to help kids who love science and education. Your donation will be a great way of adding an asset to a curious child. IGAEF will create an event in a selected school to give away the tablets on your behalf. We and the kids thank you in advance for supporting their education. The tablets will have downloaded kid friendly applications of Astronomy, Math, Geography, Physics, Chemistry tools, and science in general. Please go now to the button “Donate” on the left of this page and help us in this cause!

Citizens Science Projects right for you:

Join the science projects for people like you, and help science to discover new things!!!

CosmoQuest: Help them make maps of our Solar System.

SETI@home is a scientific experiment, based at UC Berkeley, that uses Internet-connected computers in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). You can participate by running a free program that downloads and analyzes radio telescope data.

The Zooniverse enables everyone to take part in real cutting edge research in many fields across the sciences, humanities, and more. The Zooniverse creates opportunities for you to unlock answers and contribute to real discoveries.

NASA’s CubeSat Launch initiative (CSLI) provides access to space for small satellites, CubeSats, developed by the NASA Centers and programs, educational institutions and non-profit organizations giving CubeSat developers access to a low-cost pathway to conduct research in the areas of science, exploration, technology development, education or operations.

Project PHaEDRA: Smithsonian Digital Volunteers; Transcription Center. At Harvard College Observatory (now the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics), women computers studied glass plate photographs of the night sky…

Einstein@Home: a program that uses your computer’s idle time to search for gravitational waves from spinning isolated compact objects (among which are pulsars) using data from the LIGO gravitational wave detector.

SCOPE: At SCOPE, you have the opportunity to explore this topic by observing stars, comparing their features to those of the Sun, and classifying them. Many of these stars have never been classified; you can be the very first person to measure the temperature of a star! This is discovery in the purest sense of the word.
