2009 is important for Astronomy in Spain, not just because of the celebration of the International Year of Astronomy, but because of the beginning of the Gran Telescopio CANARIAS's operation. The Project ‘Consolider-Ingenio 2010: First Science with the GTC’, is a project funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science & Innovation (MICINN). For this project, it is fundamental that the GTC, a complex and expensive installation, produces science from the very beginning. One of the project objectives is Public Outreach and, in this paper we explain the outreach and education plans around the first science with the GTC.
