If astronomy is to fulfil its large potential as a motivational forum for STEM teaching, large numbers of sufficiently skilled teachers will be needed. However, there are a limited number of astronomy education professionals available to train the teachers, and time for teachers to be trained is very limited. This project seeks to use highly skilled astronomy educators, Space Ambassadors and others to work with key teachers in key schools and colleges who will then act as a 'hub' for disseminating that training to local schools/colleges. Such a network of Hubs will not only provide a ready means of widespread teacher training and support, but also focus points for development and dissemination of new initiatives and resources.

如果天文学要发挥其作为STEM教学激励论坛的巨大潜力，将需要大量技能足够熟练的教师。然而，可用于培训教师的天文学教育专业人员数量有限，教师接受培训的时间也非常有限。该项目寻求利用高技能的天文学教育工作者、空间大使和其他人与重点学校和学院的主要教师合作，这些教师将作为向当地学校/学院传播培训的“中心”。这样一个中心网络不仅为广泛的教师培训和支持提供了一个现成的手段，而且也是发展和传播新举措和资源的重点。
