Rockets, Robots, Space Art, (and Dome Videos) Oh My!

Presented by Christenberry Planetarium at Samford University at Samford University

Join us for the Christenberry Planetarium Space Science Mentorship Program Project Showcase! On this Friday evening, our student mentees will present their summer projects.

Rockets: we will launch our 3D modeled and printed rockets (located in the Samford Quad if weather is clear).

Robots: each 3D printed robot will be on display with demonstrations of their functionality.

Paint the Universe: original space art, highlighting the use of false color data visualization techniques, will be on display in the planetarium lobby.

Explore the Universe (in VR): mentee produced planetarium videos will be running in the dome all evening covering a variety of topics (schedule pending).

This is not our standard event, but rather a drop in type of project showcase. Admission is free and seating is available on a first come, first served basis.
