Outreach Library STEM Astronomy Kit

This kit contains a Homestar Flux portable planetarium, a DIY rocket kit with balloon and alka seltzer rockets, four Merge Cubes, and a Sphero RVR robot. The kit also contains an activity guide with a broad range of programs you could run for all ages.

Activities include:

  • Storytelling under the stars with a portable planetarium
  • Making your own alka seltzer powered rocket or balloon rockets
  • Exploring the solar system in Augmented Reality (AR) with a Merge cube
  • Programming a rover to explore Mars

Note that to use the Sphero RVR and Merge Cube, you will require devices that are not included (eg. tablets/iPads/phones). We include small quantities of consumables (alka seltzer and balloons), however you may need to supplement these.
