Sebring Families Explore the Cosmos at Mobile Planetarium Event

Recently, Sebring students and their families gathered at B.L. Miller Elementary gymnasium for a family engagement night where they had the opportunity to explore space in a mobile planetarium called “Sky Dome”. Over 200 attendees participated in guided tours of the universe presented by Mobile Ed Productions. The event, sponsored by United Way’s Success After 6 program, aimed to ignite curiosity and interest in space exploration following the solar eclipse on April 8.

Families had a great time learning about the sun, moon, stars, and universe in a unique and engaging way. Partners In Education (P.I.E.) contributed to the event by providing food for purchase, with funds raised going towards future activities and events for Sebring students.

In addition to the planetarium tours, families enjoyed playing bingo in between sessions, with winners receiving Oh WOW! STEM Sak bundles. One lucky student even won a National Geographic 70m Sky View Telescope as a grand prize, courtesy of SA6. Mobile Ed Productions provided an enriching and interactive experience for all attendees through their live educational entertainment assemblies and workshops.

Jill Dennis, the family engagement coordinator for Sebring Local Schools and Success After 6 coordinator expressed gratitude for the collaboration that made the event possible
