Mobile Planetarium
Our Inflatable Mobile Planetarium is On the Move! Our inflatable mobile planetarium will begin visiting schools, bringing exciting, state-standard-aligned space science lessons straight to third-grade classrooms.
Students will step inside the dome to explore the sun, moon, stars, moon phases, and Earth’s rotation — all through an immersive experience designed just for their grade level. The traveling planetarium sparks curiosity and makes learning about space fun, memorable, and hands-on.
Equipped with a high-quality projector and laptop, the planetarium transforms lessons into unforgettable, hands-on STEM experiences that teachers and students are excited about.
Special thanks to Sandra Gaskins, President of Hendersonville Rotary Club, without her vision this project would not have been possible.
