Featuring Ancient Egyptian Mythology Star Shows

Girlstart’s STEM Studio and Mini-Planetarium is a unique space for families to explore astronomy! Starry Nights are held the 1st 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.

Hands-on activities include:

– Channel your inner archaeologist as you piece together Egyptian clay pot artifacts
– Engineer your own Egyptian “shaduf” to transport water easily
– Explore animal adaptations of crocodiles on the Nile River
– Make your own ceremonial “sistrum” musical instrument

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