Transcript:
Hi, this is Shaila Akhter from UNSW Australia and CASS. I welcome you all to my 365 days of Astronomy Podcasts! Recently, I gave a telescope workshop for a public event targeted at primary and high school students. Their parents were also present in that open night. The event, “Bringing the Cosmos Down to Earth,” was hosted by Trinity Grammar School and supported by the UNSW Physics Outreach Unit on Friday, 8 May 2015. My workshop was recorded and today I am going to share that as my vodcast!

Hope you will enjoy it!
