Michigan Science Center STARLAB comes to JFK!<br />
The JFK-PTA brought the Michigan Science Center STARLAB to JFK Elementary School last week! Students in kindergarten<br />
through 2nd grade and Special Education crawled into an inflatable dome planetarium where they were treated to a view of<br />
•<br />
the current Oak Park night sky in the middle of the day. The STARLAB projector lit up the dark dome with bright stars, constellations,<br />
planets and moons. The students learned about our solar system, constellation and star names, and where the earth<br />
fits in the star neighborhood. The kids were excited to learn that a Red Star named Betelgeuse lies directly in Orion’s Armpit!<br />

Charles Gibson, and students exiting the dome.<br />
