Engaging Students in Radio Astronomy: PULSE@Parkes Outreach and Citizen Science

The PULSE@Parkes program offers high school students the opportunity to remotely observe pulsars using the 64m Parkes radio telescope. This initiative emphasizes hands-on learning and citizen science, allowing students to engage with extensive datasets from projects like ASKAP and Meerkat. Through international collaboration and real-time data sharing via social media livecasts, we aim to enhance student understanding and engagement in radio astronomy. All data is freely available, fostering interaction between students and scientists in a dynamic learning environment.
