Children get to learn about the science behind space and astronomy through interactive illustrations – in the forms of balloons, lights and handmade planets. We expect this to be a very fulfilling programme for budding space enthusiasts, as White Sands is collaborating with multiple public schools and astronomy clubs to bring space to life.
The Starmazing Space Adventure is located at the Main Atrium of White Sands. Remember not to miss out on the stargazing sessions exclusively between 16 June and 23 June, held at the field right next to White Sands. We believe that one of the best environments for optimal learning is the outdoors.
