Program Description

Event Details

What pictures do you see in the stars? Students explore the ancient art of constellation-making by connecting dots across the sky. After a brief introduction to real star patterns and myths from cultures around the world, students will use their creativity to design an original constellation and craft a short origin story to explain it. This session blends astronomy with storytelling, helping students connect science and imagination while exploring how humans across history made sense of the night sky. 

Ages 7-14. Limit 25 youth. Registration required. Each youth must be registered individually.
