For 8 years Marcus Neustetter and I, together with physicists Carolina Odman Govender and Kevin Govender, created a community based interdisciplinary project in the small Karoo town of Sutherland, South Africa.

Some of the notable outcomes of the project was the building of a community dome for the naked eye on the plateau that is home to the South African Astronomical Observatory in Sutherland and the creation of a 60 minute film which and illustrated resource book My Room at the Centre of the Universe which we created together with the Africa Meets Africa project.
