“Experiences at UT” is an inventory of experiential learning (EL) opportunities for UT Austin students. You can search for EL opportunities across all UT Austin colleges/schools and industries or use the filters below to delimit your search by specific college/school, EL type, degree level, or industry. “Experiences at UT” also brings together in one place other search tools that focus on just one type of EL—such as Eureka for research, HornsLink for student organizations, and the Navigator for entrepreneurship.
Note: This is a beta version of the EL inventory. Please fill out this form to submit feedback, request corrections or suggest an EL program for inclusion.

People in the Texas astronomy program broadly engage in public outreach. In particular, the McDonald Observatory’s Education and Outreach Office is one of the country’s leaders in astronomy outreach and education. The office manages programs ranging from professional development for teachers, to star parties and facility tours for the 60,000 annual visitors to the observatory in West Texas, to creation and distribution of educational radio programs heard by millions of people each week, and web sites accessed by nearly a million unique visitors each month.

These diverse programs within the observatory, together with community events supported by astronomy on and off campus, offer students, scientists and faculty a wide variety of opportunities in outreach and education.
