About Us
Mission Statement
Quasars and Answers is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN: ) whose mission is to bridge the gap in astronomy education by providing underserved youth access to a variety of hands-on and digital learning resources. We seek to use podcasts, blogs, and AstroKits to overcome the gender and race barrier, making the information available to all and inspiring the next generation of astronomers.
