Many schools in NY state will be in the path of totality for the April 2024 solar eclipse and may be looking for additional approved or certified viewing glasses for their students or school community to use during planned programs. The American Astronomical Society has put together a helpful resource and extensive list of manufacturers and distributors of safe solar viewers and filters

Many of these suppliers offer some type of educator discount, and can also add custom logos to eclipse glasses that are being ordered in large quantities by a school or district. And don’t forget to check the Solar Eclipse Activities for Libraries site often for program ideas, eclipse activities and virtual trainings!
