Branched Oak Observatory volunteers will visit Belmont Community Center (3335 N 12th St. Lincoln, NE 68521) to deliver multiple astronomy programs to 60+ K-5th grade students. The participants will be broken into two groups, so enough volunteers will be needed to run simultaneous programing.

Suggested programming includes…

• Safe solar viewing outside if the weather allows. If it is cloudy out, then additional indoor programming would be completed.

• A simple “What’s Up” program about the evenings constellations.

• A Meteorite program.

• Make a planisphere (a moving star map) [Note to programming- Make sure you have enough print-outs prior to travel. Pack blue box crafting kits]

• Make a Sundial. [Note to programming- Make sure you have enough print-outs prior to travel. ]

• Solar System in Your Pocket.

Tessie Schroeder (they/them/theirs) is the School-Age Programs Director

Volunteers: Carol Wells (Lead). Matt Anderson. 4 more volunteers needed. Experience with h-alpha solar scopes and white-light solar scopes is needed.
