Visits take place on school days from Tuesday to Thursday and from October to June from 10:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., at the Astronomical Observatory, located in the Paterna-Science Park Research Institutes building of the University of Valencia (first floor of the red building behind À Punt ).

The visits are designed for groups from 3rd grade to all educational levels, as well as for groups with specific needs and other abilities. The maximum capacity of each visit is 30 students.

The visit includes a digital planetarium session and an astronomical workshop of your choice and costs €5 per student.

OUR PLANETARIUM

The planetarium sessions last approximately 1 hour and their contents are customizable. We adapt to the theme of the chosen hands-on activity as well as to the level of the students and their interests.

Through the realism of the graphics and the dynamism of the animations, we provide an immersive experience that will take students around our planet, our Solar System and beyond the galaxy. In this way, we approach concepts from the most fundamental such as day/night or the seasons, to other more advanced ones such as retrograde movements, the behavior of light and spectroscopy, stellar evolution or the formation of planetary systems.

These are 2-hour sessions, designed for groups of 25 alumn@s maximum. They consist of two parts: a manual workshop and a digital workshop. The material necessary to carry out the workshops will be sent to the centre within the “Caixa del Cel“. The total cost of this virtual tour is €75.

 

ASTROCONTEST26

Like every year, in January we will launch the Astrocontest whose prize is a visit and observation in our telescopes in Aras de los Olmos.
