Cosmic Explorers
The Cosmic Explorer program allows children in grades 3-6 to experience the discovery of the night sky at Henize Observatory on the Harper College campus.
Cosmic Explorers attend 3-4 observing sessions throughout the 2011-2012 school year, learn to locate stars and constellations, and observe deep sky wonders through telescopes at the observatory. As explorers complete their Night Sky Passport, they can earn NASA materials.
Those who successfully complete their Passport for the year will attend a recognition reception at Harper College.
Enrollment challenge
The school in the Harper College district that enrolls the most students in the Cosmic Explorer program (25 min / school) can win a Star Party for their school hosted by Harper College faculty.
