Major Upgrade for University Planetarium

The Planetarium got a face-lift with the installation of a state-of-the-art projection system and sound system this November through a proposal written by College of Education members Lindsey Keith-Vincent (Principle Investigator), Diane Madden, and Don Schillinger. Funding received from the Louisiana Board of Regents Support Fund provides a new projection that allows videos to be projected across the entire dome, giving these videos a 3D panoramic illusion. The full dome projection system and the new sound system provide a unique, exciting, and engaging educational experience for our guests, and inspire future astronomers, astronauts, educators, and scientists. For more information about the planetarium or to schedule a tour of it or the IDEA Place, contact the Science and Technology Center (SciTEC) at: http://education.latech.edu/departments/science_technology_education_center/
