Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) was an influential Italian scientist who played a major role in the scientific revolution. He improved the telescope and made important astronomical observations that supported Copernicanism. Galileo is known as the "father of modern observational astronomy", "father of modern physics", and "father of science". The mission of the Galileo organization is to do charity, inspire people through sharing knowledge, and spread knowledge worldwide by sending members to teach in poor areas. The monastery headquarters is located in the countryside of Rome and features classrooms, meeting rooms, and meditation rooms to further the organization's goals.

4. The Mission and Purpose
Located in Rome, Itary
Do charity, inspire people by sharing knowledge,
and spread the knowledge all around the world
Yearly send members to poor areas in the world
to teach (we’ve sent people to Congo, Vietnam,
China, Brazil, and Korea, etc.)

5. Monthly science contests to
acknowledge people who have
great achievement
First three places get free plane
tickets to places where they
want to travel to

6. Practices and Rituals
Two prayers a day, one after waking up, another
before going to bed
Dress code (very easy): white/yellow shirts and
blue/black jeans
“Current event”: debating time, to get your logic
and moral challenged!

Open time: 8 am to 9 pm every day

10. Galileo’s Day: Feb 15th
- Morning parade on the street of Rome
- Organize a dinner together
- Stargazing after the dinner
The Building
- Built of Stones, symbolizing gravity. Galileo
analyzed a cannonball trajectory, which

11. Galileo is a very neat person so we try to keep
our monastery clean all the time
First floor: two restrooms, a meeting room with a
stage in the front, a meditation room (with
candles lit and flowers placed in the corners)
Second floor: four classrooms, chairs and tables
are wooden, four restrooms, words “true light”
carved on the windows.
