Please be aware that all outreach programmes start at 10:00 and we will aim to arrive at your school approximately 45 minutes prior to this start time.

We can offer two types of outreach programmes, the StarDome and Workshops.

The StarDome is a portable, inflatable planetarium, which fits into most school halls or gyms. It is 6 meters in diameter, approximately 4 meters high and 25 adults or 30 children are able to take part in a session within the dome at any one time.

The StarDome recreates a dark night sky with hundreds of brilliant points of light splashed across the inside of the dome.

The stars  are projected into their positions for any time of the year. It is also possible to draw the constellation pictures from different civilisations so that you have a show that will entrance your students.

Our StarDome presenters use a range of media both inside and outside the dome to bring space and astronomy to life. Take a look at some of our exciting programs that we offer, by clicking on to the StarDome page.

The National Space Centre also offers full day outreach programmes where you can have five workshop sessions in your school. Choose from any of our fantastic workshops* and these will be presented in the school by one of our presenters. Click on our workshop pages to find out more.
