STEM Afterschool - Awesome Astronomy

Join us for a new and exciting series of STEM Afterschool hands-on discovery activities. Each week we will be covering a new theme with a number of investigations and constructions – that you get to take home.

Say hello to the man in the moon as we explore our closest neighbour! In this workshop we investigate how Awesome Astronomy is and why the moon appears in the night sky. Test your critical thinking in a moon survival challenge and make your own phases of the moon model to take home.

About the Facilitator
