EDUCATION: SECONDARY SCHOOL EXPERIENCE
WELCOME TO STARDOME
Astronomy and space science are great science topics to engage with secondary students as they begin to select subjects that will lead them onto continued learning or a career path.
A school trip to Stardome for secondary students looks closer at some of the big astronomical topics and encourages students to ask the big questions. How far can we go? What else is out there? How was the universe created?
Our education crew have created session modules based on subject matter. However, sessions are customisable to your learning objectives so don’t hesitate to ask if you want something different.
Stardome is proud to be a recognised LEOTC provider delivering education experiences that link to the New Zealand Curriculum.
