D.O.M.E project Community

The D.O.M.E. project (Design your Own Multimedia learning Environment) aims to empower students by involving them in building a low-cost planetarium system and developing presentations that will engage the local community and allow them to benefit from the planetarium and its associated resources. This DIY planetarium will provide for the students the opportunity to increase their competence profiles as well as the science capital of their community and the scientific reasoning and awareness of its members.

The project will produce one planetarium in each partner country, at least, and disseminate manuals and tutorials how to build your own DIY planetarium. These guidelines and resources that will enable the successful achievement of the project’s goals, such as an Implementation Kit, presentation guidelines and a resource toolkit to assist the preparation of the planetarium shows by the students.
