William Alan Weightman, SciStarter Ambassador, science educator, and outreach advocate, leads Science and Wonder with William—a program designed to spark curiosity and connection through hands‑on learning. With a background in Information Technology and a passion for civic engagement, William brings warmth, clarity, and a deep respect for lifelong learning to every session.
For this session at a local senior living community, participants will dive into humanity’s fascination with the sky. From ancient stone circles to space telescopes orbiting Earth, we’ll explore how observatories across time have shaped our understanding of the universe. Along the way, we’ll highlight discoveries from Galileo and Huygens to today’s Hubble, James Webb, and Vera C. Rubin telescopes.
This event will feature a SciStarter live demo, where participants contribute to a citizen science project together in real time. The demonstration will show how anyone can take part in meaningful research, connecting personal curiosity with global discovery.
Designed for learners of all backgrounds, this session blends storytelling, science, and hands‑on participation. Attendance is by invitation only, ensuring a welcoming and focused environment for community members.
