Under The Stars, a specialist science resource business, has developed two exciting new school programmes designed to inspire curiosity and wonder. Perfect for engaging STEAM days, unforgettable overnight camps, and dynamic LEOTC sessions, these programmes bring astronomy to life for students across the Wairarapa and Wellington region.
SCHOOL SPACE WORKSHOPS: The Solar System and Beyond- 1 hour interactive workshop
An engaging, hands-on workshop exploring our Solar System — the Sun, planets, and moons. Students investigate sizes and distances, seasons, and Moon phases through interactive activities and discussion.
Weather permitting, students will safely observe the Sun using solar glasses and help create a scale model of the Solar System.
Workshops can be tailored to suit any age group and interests, and may include topics such as stellar evolution, black holes, galaxies, exoplanets, and the search for life beyond Earth — whatever your students are curious about!
From $175 + GST per hour
SCHOOL EVENING SESSIONS: Night Sky stargazing – Minimum 90 minutes
Perfect for overnight camps or learning experiences outside the classroom. We bring everything needed for an engaging night of stargazing — telescopes, binoculars, star maps, torches, and more.
Students will explore the science and stories behind stars, constellations, and galaxies, learning about distances, star colours, stellar evolution, and exoplanets. They’ll also discover how to navigate using the night sky, recognise seasonal markers, and understand the Maramataka.
Observe nearby celestial objects including planets, the Moon, stars, nebulae, and globular clusters.
