Come explore the universe with the Dark Skies, Bright Kids Astronomy Summer Program! You will have the opportunity to:
-
explore the night sky and travel to other planets with DSBK’s portable planetarium
-
learn about constellations, distant solar systems, and other galaxies
-
make your own comets here on Earth, just like the ones in outer space
-
discover how we use invisible light to solve mysteries of the Universe.
We will also host a Star Party at the end of the week where you can look through telescopes and enjoy the beautiful, starry night sky!
