Signature Learning Experience: Digital Universe Field Study Begins

Homepage News

Sixth graders have begun their astronomy study with our teachers in collaboration with museum educators from the American Museum of Natural History. This months-long interdisciplinary unit takes place both on-site at the museum and in the boys' science and English classrooms. It culminates in a research-driven space show entirely written, produced, and narrated by the boys in the Hayden Planetarium in early March.

During their first three sessions, the boys viewed a planetarium show, visited the Hall of the Universe and participated in in-depth Q/A sessions with guest speakers including astrophysicists and astronomers.
