Austin, TX: Eclipse Party @ Girlstart

Enjoy the upcoming total solar eclipse at Girlstart’s viewing party! We’ll be giving out free pairs of eclipse glasses and you’ll learn about the sun through hands-on STEM fun. Enjoy these fun activities:

  • Eclipse Glasses Modification: Create an effective tool for safely observing the solar  eclipse
  • Eclipse in a Cup: Why doesn’t an eclipse happen every month? Learn why as you construct a mini eclipse model that demonstrates the relationship between the earth, moon, and sun.
  • Solar Power Challenge: Use the design thinking process to build a prototype of an object or item that uses solar power.
  • Code an Eclipse: Let’s simulate an eclipse by coding a tiny robot with patterns and colors!
  • Starlab: We will host star shows in our mini-planetarium all event long! Don’t forget to catch a longer star show at our Starry Nights, the first Thursday of every month!

Click here to RSVP: bit.ly/EclipseParty2024. PLEASE NOTE: To accommodate travel and to be mindful of our neighbors, we will open our doors one hour early and close the building at 2pm.
