Sessions

Sessions led by our presenter are interactive and immersive. Students are engaged using a variety of teaching tools: fulldome digital projections (modelling, video clips, animations), and/or fulldome movies.
Our Space Science sessions conclude with a tour of the night sky: stars, planets and major constellations. The night sky is displayed over the ceiling of the dome and is accurate for date, time, and location.
