Membership Application to Project Galieo



Terms and conditions of membership:


  1. Membership application by teachers to Project Galileo is with the agreement of your school/college Head of Department who must send communication to Project Galileo acknowledging your involvement.

  2. Membership application by students is with the condition that they obtain permission from their subject teacher, who in turn is given consent by their head of department. Again the latter must send communication  to Project Galileo acknowledging involvement.

  3. Students should try, where possible, to run Project Galileo in their school as part of a small team (minimum 2, maximum probably no more than 5), and must seek their subject teacher's involvement in overseeing their activities.

  4. Members must endeavor to share all data gathered from the Project Galileo observatory, either by making it available on the Project Galileo website, site of their own choosing, or in printed form.

  5. Any Press releases that a school makes must reference Project Galileo as the source of the data they have obtained .

  6. Access time to the observatory is not dependent on success in provision of syllabus material or its publication, but instead will be given on a first-come, first-served basis, as time constraints on teachers should not be a hinderance to enjoying the benefits of such a facility.

  7. Termination of membership will immediately occur if the Project Galileo co-ordinator is of the opinion that the observatory facility is being improperly used, or that malicious or deformatory material is posted on any public news or information sharing forums that may exist on the Project Galileo website.

  8. Curriculum materials developed are subject to the Project Gaileo Public License outlined below.
