We provide Planetarium Education™(PE) K12 to schools across India. It is a holistic concept that connects the students with the night sky. Under PE a student from a school K12 can have up to four exposures of planetarium shows in each academic year. Unlike a city’s fixed public planetarium, which may not be even digital, PE is based on the pedagogical efficacy of Digisky™ full dome mobile or fixed planetarium and provides a solution to the inherent impediments associated with astronomy teaching.
It is a companion to STEM Education and has been designed to implement astronomy in the Indian school system K12 through readymade, class-wise appropriate and progressive polar planetarium shows developed in Indian ethos. These shows are related to various astronomical sky simulation scenarios and bring stars to the light polluted starless cities.
We can provide four shows for each class group of pre nursery-nursery, Class I-II, Class III-V, Class VI-VIII and Class IX-XII, which are designed specific to their age. Duration of shows ranges from 20 to 30 minutes and is available in English and Hinglish.
The cost of the Space Mobile Planetarium varies based on the number of shows selected by the school and also on the number of students enrolled for the program.
The planetarium has to be installed at a semi-dark indoor venue such as a multipurpose hall, auditorium, etc. with a minimum clear floor area of 20 feet X 20 feet & a minimum clear ceiling height of 10 feet. The planetarium needs uninterrupted surge free electricity supply (2 KVA) Electricity Generator and electricity connection within 5 meters from the planetarium dome.
