The Suffolk County Vanderbilt Museum and Planetarium is offering eligible schools FREE astronomy presentations through our STEM outreach curriculum, Discover the Universe: Traveling Astronomy Program! All presentations are available on-site at eligible schools.
These programs are made possible by a generous grant from the National Grid Foundation.
Discover the Universe provides an engaging and interactive educational astronomy experience.
