Team Building: This program gives your students the experience of working together to accomplish a series of challenges during which they will discover a lot about themselves and others. The experience enables students to break out of their comfort zones and learn to work with each other strengths and weaknesses to succeed in their tasks.

Digitarium: The Digitarium is our portable, computerized planetarium system. A room with a minimum clearance of 12’ is needed to use the system.
