3RF's primary interest is in outreach and education.  Our first efforts are in astronomy, music, and theater, but we will soon branch out into other areas.  Please check back for updates.  if you wish to request an event.

Astronomy Starstrucks

3RF has representatives across north Texas who are willing to travel to your location with our Starstrucks to lecture, provide star parties with premium equipment, and expand your horizons.  These events are open to the public, school groups, and civic groups.  Please visit our Activities photo album to see what we do, the equipment we bring, and the people involved.

3RF also offers star parties and education at our astronomy campus, Comanche Springs. It's located near Crowell, Texas in the middle of north Texas Ranchlands that provides very dark skies for our events.  Comanche Springs is under construction, but we can
 provide basic facilities for our visitors.  Check the construction page
 for updates.

Brains on Drugs

This is a new program 3RF is offering to help inform, and possibly prevent, rural students from experimenting with addictive drugs.  Brains on Drugs is a classroom program that addresses the dangers of addictive drugs from the perspective of neurobiology.  It is comprised of two fifty minute lessons in which students are engage through lecture, a classroom exercise, and a hands-on brain dissection.
