[18.02] An Expanded Planetarium Outreach Program in Chicago

The Adler Planetarium recently conducted a special outreach program to enrich 5th and 6th grade students before they attended a new sky show titled "African Skies." Nine classrooms in three schools serving an inner city neighborhood were visited each week for three weeks by our team of astronomy educators -- including an experience in the inflatable Starlab planetarium at each school -- and culminating with a visit to the Planetarium by all of the students together.
