Utah Space Grant Consortium

SUU Planetarium

Program Type: Pre-College

The goal of this activity is to give underserved rural students, the opportunity to experience a planetarium. We support science teaching by discussing concepts such as time, seasons, planetary and Solar motions, and stellar evolution, among others. The programming is fully adaptable. This project has visited schools in seven Southern Utah counties (Millard, Beaver, Iron, Washington, Piute, Garfield, Wayne) and has had over 7,000 people enter the planetarium over the 2017-2018 school year.
