Educational visits can be tailored to suit the individual needs of your group. Talk to a member of our education team when booking to find out how you can make the most of your visit to Armagh Planetarium.
Children attending Special Needs schools have a wide range of abilities.€а The Planetarium offers Special Needs visitors the opportunity to explore astronomy and space science and to see the spectacular objects that can be seen in the Solar System and beyond, at a level appropriate to the pupilтАЩs abilities.€а
Special Needs teachers are encouraged to come along and see what we can do. Follow up visits to the school can be arranged to explore other aspects of science and help the children to enjoy discovering simple scienctific principles for themselves.€а The small class sizes in Special Needs Schools makes it easier for Planetarium staff to work with the children and young adults: we can modify our visit to suit you.
We would recommend a show and then a workshop which can involve all of the children in a hands-on activity.€а Rocket workshops are especially suitable, although they are weather dependent.
