In 1990 our first starship simulator was launched,

and a new era of immersive education began.

27 years and over 400,000 participants later

a new fleet is preparing to take the next generation

to visit the stars and imagine what lies beyond.

LEARN HOW YOU CAN HELP THEM GET THERE

Help us build a planetarium along with our new Space Center facility.

We all understand the benefits of investing in education to promote a stronger and more productive community. The addition of this unique resource to our already successful program will increase how we can positively impact the lives of our participants and shape the future of our area for many years to come.  We need your help to get this project off the ground.

How much would you like to give?

INCREASED CAPACITY

We currently turn away schools for field trips because of capacity limits. Our current planetarium can barely squeeze in 40 students and is our biggest limitation.

DEDICATED SPACE

For 27 years we assimilated portions of Central Elementary in converted classrooms, labs, and the cafeteria. With a uniquely designed facility the experience begins as you walk through the doors.
