A Successful Viaje al Universo Outreach Program in 2014
November 17, 2014
For one week in late October Gemini’s Chilean outreach program Viaje al Universo brought the universe to thousands of residents in our local communities of La Serena, Coquimbo, and Vicuña. During this intensive week of diverse programming, students, teachers and the public enjoyed educational workshops, hands-on classroom presentations, StarLab portable planetarium programs, nighttime naked-eye (and telescopic) tours, public talks, and a very successful career panel discussion that engaged over 100 local students.
