The head of outreach and Education for ZAS, Professor Golden Gadzirayi Nyambuya, has recently been appointed as the National Outreach Coordinator (NOC) for Zimbabwe by the IAU Office of Astronomy Outreach (OAO)!
Part of professor’s responsibilities will be to assemble a team that will spearhead Astronomy Outreach in Zimbabwe.
This is not Professor’s first time for engaging with astronomy outreach and education, he has supervised, and continues to supervise many students who pursue astronomy for undergraduate and postgraduate studies within and outside Zimbabwe; notably our General Secretary Praise Nesvinga, our Social Media manager Ashley Nyamandi, and our President Thobekile Ngwane who passed her undergraduate thesis under him, and is now pursuing a master’s degree in Astronomy and Astrophysics at the University of Cape Town.
Combined with Professor’s role at the National University of Science and Technology in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, where he teaches courses on Classical Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Solid State Physics, and Statistical Mechanics; alongside being involved in outreach and education plans for ZAS, he will be a very busy man over his 3 year tenure for the NOC for Zimbabwe!
Great stuff. We are fully behind ZAS.
Great to hear, all support is much appreciated!
