In Space & Stars, students will explore what lies beyond our Solar System, including blue, red giant, and sun-like stars, supernovas, constellations, galaxies, and nebulas. Students will learn how to use telescopes and how to observe the Sun safely. They will explore black holes with Kopernik’s Spandex Universe. Activities will include making star wheels, modeling the Milky Way Galaxy, and building NASA Spacecraft models. Students will also spend time in Kopernik’s inflatable portable planetarium to explore the known universe. The students will be introduced to the planetarium simulator software Stellarium (which they can download for free at home). Camps have a maximum enrollment and many fill quickly each year. Register early to avoid disappointment. Register before June 1 to avoid late registration fee. Early drop off (8 am) and late pick up (4 pm) are available for a $15/day.
