The Reichert Planetarium presents an exciting program for young astronomers!

This is a series of educational workshops run by the Reichert Planetarium’s talented astronomy educators. Junior Astronomers have the opportunity to learn about multiple astronomy topics including our solar system, how to use a telescope, and identifying constellations they can see from their own backyard! This program focuses on hands-on learning with STEAM activities and crafts supplemented by immersive live and pre-recorded fulldome presentations in our Planetarium theater.

Registration is open for children entering 3rd – 5th grade.

This form is to register for the Junior Astronomer Workshop running Monday, August 12th – Friday, August 16th, 2024. Each session is from 9:00am – 12:00pm.

The July and August sessions of the workshop will feature the same activities. For this reason, please do not register the same child for both sessions.

Cost: $200 for non-members | $180 for members.
