The birth of gravitational astronomy creates a new focus on general relativity, and presents enormous opportunities, and a substantial responsibility, for educating the public on discoveries that will change the way we view the Universe. OzGrav\u00a0embraces these opportunities, through its\u00a0national Education and Public Outreach (EPO) program\u00a0\u2013 for the general public, for schools, and for eager citizen scientists.<\/p>\n

OzGrav researchers \u00a0work with numerous outreach partners, including the\u00a0Gravity Discovery Centre\u00a0<\/a>(GDC), a spectacular $10 million dollar, 1500 m2 outreach facility, co-located at the\u00a0Australian International\u00a0<\/a>Gravitational Research Centre\u00a0\u00a0<\/a>(AIGRC) in Gingin, in Western Australia.\u00a0\u00a0The\u00a0Gravity Discovery Centre\u00a0\u00a0houses exhibitions on black holes, cosmology, fundamental physics and technology, lecture theatre, and a major public astronomy facility. We are developing new outreach programs and materials for use across all of OzGrav’s research \u00a0nodes.\u00a0 We are producing \u00a0short animations, videos and social media content to make gravitational wave physics more accessible to schools and the general public.\u00a0 Please contact epo@ozgrav.org with any educational or outreach requests.<\/p>\n
