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!

Fun in the dome
In May we setup the dome for a second time. Students were assigned a chapter in their astronomy books and asked to create a planetarium show for elementary students. Each student group picked a grade level to gear their presentations to. The presentations included content on their chapters, videos, animations, and music. The students did a great job hosting their shows. Elementary students also rotated through stations geared for their grades on light. It was a pleasure watching both astronomy and elementary students engaged in the learning/teaching process.
