Kudos to… Shannon Schmoll (MSP11) is the co-Principal Investigator on a 2.5 million dollar NSF grant that will be used to create a hands-on planetarium show about astronomy in Chile, a web portal with additional content, and live social media events related to the show. She is leading a research project around how these elements all work together to create a model for extending learning beyond the planetarium dome. This is a collaboration between the Abrams Planetarium, California Academy of Sciences, Associated Universities Incorporated, and Astronomy Society of the Pacific.
