Discovering new worlds with Wellington's planetarium
21 Oct 2019
This year there’s a new addition to the Wellington science labs – the planetarium! Mr Lloyd, Head of Physics, is responsible for introducing this rather impressive piece of educational technology to our campus, and he’s only just started to unlock its full potential.
First things first, for those who haven’t tried it yet, what can pupils expect when they step into the new Wellington planetarium? What makes it special?
Can you give us an example of what the planetarium is capable of?
And are there more interactive elements to these kinds of programmes?
You said that it’s still early days for the planetarium. What do you have in store for the near future?
How have the pupils reacted to their planetarium lessons so far?
What do you think makes the planetarium such a special educational experience for pupils?
