30 of your school students and a teacher get to access one year of astronomy using telescopes located in Chile and the Canary Islands.
The entire school comes to visit us at Stonehenge Aotearoa, learns about the henge, astronomy and culture and has a special Mars presentation in our Mars exhibition.
The winning school gets a visit from our portable planetarium. The entire school participates.
It can be a joint letter or an individual letter from the students, telling us why your school should win.
You can be as detailed or as brief as you like, you can make a video, you can write it, you can include photos, be as creative as you like.
This opportunity is offered to you for free, thanks to KaPai Carterton.
Send us an email to star-safari@milky-way.kiwi. We look forward to hearing from you.
