The University of Hull has invested £30,000 in a new mobile planetarium which will improve STEM learning in local schools and colleges.
As you enter the inflatable dome, the impressive projector projects images and movies of stars, galaxies, planets, and comets onto the interior of the massive planetarium.
It is suitable for children from nursery age all the way up to 18. Older children will look, for example, at forces and fusion reactions and the balance of pressure, whilst younger children will look at where in the solar system they would most likely go on holiday – you can go to Uranus and witness a diamond thunderstorm!
The new planetarium is also more accessible for SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) pupils.
