Bringing Star-Dome to the Children of Waterloo-Wellington County: a youth space science programming — The main objective of the project is to “bring” the night sky to local schools and community events. To enhance this experience, the project will create customized programming with the following awareness objectives: 1) Educate youth and promote Canadian space missions, space science and technologies, with a particular emphasis on CSA Moon exploration initiatives, the Lunar Gateway Station, the Artemis II mission, and the discoveries arising from the JWST and 2) Introduce youth to Indigenous Moon and star-lore teachings, pairing First Nations night sky knowledge with that of western astronomy.
