<p>^You got it.</p>
<p>My school only has slightly more than 1000 clubs :(</p>
<p>I think the astronomy club here is affiliated with the Physics department, so it kind of has a monopoly</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure Canada does participate in the International Olympiad for Astronomy and Astrophysics, so try to find out how the selection process for the team occurs, and maybe have some activities in preparation for that. I know I helped start the US Astronomy and Astrophysics Olympiad, and I want to start a club at school to prepare the kids for that. But I’m worried that it will seem too much like a class. But I’m gonna think of creative ideas for that. It’s a possibility for you though, especially if you mix it up with other activities. </p>
<p>The US competes in the IOAA? </p>
<p>BTW, you can claim naturalization and stuff for eligibility. For example, as an OCI of India, I’m able to compete on the Indian team for IOAA</p>
<p>The dates on this post feel surreal. I was just starting my freshman year when OP made this thread and you guys revived it a month after graduation. Time flies like an arrow, huh?</p>
<p>To stay on topic, no, my high school didn’t have an astronomy club or class. The closest thing we had was an event in Science Olympiad. It would’ve been pretty cool, though–the nearby prep school had an observatory somewhere on campus. </p>

<p>The more surreal part is that people go through all of the work to bring back an old thread that will promptly die after a few days or so</p>
