Alice Luna, graduate student in Astronomy & Astrophysics, was awarded a PSD Inclusive Climate Grant in collaboration with Gage Park Latinx Council (GPLXC) to hold an “Astronomy Day/Día de Astronomía” with the goal of inspiring young children and families in Gage Park. The program aims to increase the exposure to astronomy and STEM in Chicago’s southwest community of Gage Park at GPLXC. GPLXC is a Queer, DACA, Latinx-led grassroots organization that provides resources, educational opportunities, and a supportive environment for young people in the community.
