Goals

  • Aquire new educational movies and a portable planetarium

Overview

We need to expand science education in Northern Nevada because the state of Nevada ranks one of the lowest in education funding in our nation. In the last year, we have lost all of our state funding and have been unable to expand our outreach programs. With this money we would be able to buy new movies and a portableplanetarium dome to travel to the schools that cannot afford to come to us.

Deliverables:
Portable planetarium dome that seats 50 and a full dome projector
two new astronomy programs
An informal educator to travel and present educational astronomy lessons

How will the 50K be Used?

$ 6,000 two astronomy programs
$ 14,000 full dome portable projector
$ 21,000 inflatable planetarium dome
$ 9,000 astronomy educator
