New Cameras & Lighting Are In!
With your help, we were able to purchase new webcams and lighting for the planetarium's students and staff! We received them today and are eager to use them for this Friday's Constellation Crew live program and for our Virtual Visits we are doing for school groups across the US. Here's a shot of our Earth buddy using the new tech:
We are currently very close to reaching our crowdfunding goal, and are ready to purchase more items to enhance our programs. Right now, we are looking into additional music options for live streaming and software to help us reach more platforms with our programs. Keep in touch with us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube for more updates!
