Description of App
The DIY Sun Science app, funded by NASA, allows families and educators to investigate and learn about the Sun at home, at school, or anywhere you go! This app is the second in a series (including DIY Nano) that provides over a dozen free, easy to use, hands-on activities. Plus, view live images of the Sun from NASA’s SDO satellite, videos of the Sun, and much more! Each activity includes material lists, step-by-step instructions, and detailed explanations. The activity materials are widely available and inexpensive—you probably have many of them in your own home.

Improved VoiceOver Integration
Hello! I am one of the developers that worked on this app, DIY Sun Science. After version 1.0 came out, we worked on improving the accessibility and VoiceOver controls with the app. We collaborated with a web accessibility group here at UC Berkeley to help us improve the accessibility of the app, and version 1.2 should perform much better. I would be delighted if other users reviewed our app and provided feedback on our work. Thank you!
