Featuring Mayan Skies Star Shows

Girlstart’s STEM Studio and Mini-Planetarium is a unique space for families to explore astronomy! Starry Nights are held the first Thursday of every month (except January, June, July, and August), with each month featuring a new astronomy experience and related hands-on activities. All ages are welcome to stop by any time between 5:30pm and 7:00pm. RSVP is recommended, however it is not required, to join us.

Reminder: Chaperones are required. Adults must stay with their children throughout the event.

Hands-on activities include:

– Dissect a seed as you discover Mayan crop cultivation techniques
– Program robots to make their way to the top of the Mayan pyramid
– Make a device to shoot a ball through a hoop on a Mayan ceremonial ball court
– Engineer a drag racing spool and learn about Ewy Rosqvist, the first female to participate in and win the Argentine Grand Prix

Additional activities and resources from our friends at the Austin Astronomical Society
