Astronomy Education in Wartime Ukraine with Taisiia Karasova
Taisiia Karasova is a Ukrainian student studying at MIT in the US. In this episode of Big Impact Astronomy, Taisiia shares her journey founding Astro Sandbox to support astronomy students in Ukraine, even during wartime.
Taisiia describes how the Astro Sandbox initiative fosters community and academic excellence in astronomy for high school students through webinars, tournaments, and resource archives.
Most importantly, astronomy serves as a grounding force during the war. Says Taisiia, "In times of extreme stress, focusing on studies and astronomy helps students stay grounded, offering a sense of normalcy and future hope."
