About
Remote observing is a powerful tool to inspire and engage students in science, as it enables them to pursue scientific projects with real data. With the availability of remote telescopes sprayed over the world offering educational programs, the possibilities for teachers and students to take part in remote observing projects is a reality. This review includes resources that can instigate and be helpful for those who intend to take part in remote observing projects.
