Ancient Astronomy for Kids!

The ancient Greeks are responsible for much of our knowledge about the natural sciences, especially when it comes to astronomy! Although thousands of years old, their methods, discoveries and myths about the stars can still be easily applied to stargazing today.
In this school holiday workshop, budding young astronomers will explore the key concepts of ancient Greek astronomy, including how they used the stars to navigate, the tools they used to study the sky, and the myths they told to explain what they saw.
Participants will come away from this workshop with the ability to identify constellations; a telescope of their own making; and take-home materials to construct their own astrolabe, which can be used to track the movements of the planets and constellations!
Ideal for kids who are curious about science, history and mythology, from ages 7–14. Learn more and book your place below.
