Discovery Dome
The Discovery Dome is a portable, spherical digital theater. Your students will enjoy the 360 degree viewing experience to immerse themselves into content learning. A variety of shows have been purchased covering topics from the human body, space science, ancient civilizations and more. See below for a complete list of the shows and links to preview them online.
Once inflated, the Discovery dome is 10 feet high and 17 feet in diameter.
There is a fee to rent the Discovery Dome and training is required before you are able to checkout the Discovery Dome. Contact us for more information.
Discovery Dome Training
Please watch these videos prior to checking out the Discovery Dome. Please follow up with Teacher Center staff if you have any questions.
Discovery Dome Shows
Stellarium is a free open source planetarium program you can use in the Discovery Dome. It shows a realistic sky in 3D, just like what you see with the naked eye, binoculars or a telescope. Unlike a show which plays automatically, you will guide the students through the night sky in real time. The program is already downloaded on the Discovery Dome computer, however you may want to become familiar with it before use. Below are some links and tips in working with this program.
