During this engaging workshop, educators will participate in activities addressing how planetary systems form and evolve. From learning about our own Solar System to exploring exoplanets, teachers will be equipped with interactive activities and resources they can bring back to their classroom. In addition to these resources, teachers will build Galileoscopes, tour our large research telescopes, and learn about the important research and discoveries that are happening here at McDonald Observatory. We will also offer viewing of the night sky with our big telescopes.
