On the first day of working on our planetarium we found out all of the angles we needed and the lengths of the sides. It took us a while to figure out what they were supposed to look like and how we had to make them. There was a lot of argument over all of dimensions of the triangles because we had to make sure that they were perfect. After we got all of the templates drawn we had to make three inch tabs on each side.

Students at Powell County High School were lucky enough to have a $3,400 grant to build a cardboard planetarium funded by the Plum Creek Foundation. The blog entries will describe challenges, problem-solving techniques, what they've learned, and their overall accomplishments with the project. It should be an exciting ride!
