The D.O.M.E summer school is developed in the context of the project “D.O.M.E: Design your Own Multimedia Learning Environment”. It is designed for teaching professionals in STEM disciplines (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). It will introduce teachers to the creation of DIY cardboard planetaria, their pedagogical relevance and will provide a toolkit to support the authoring of their own planetarium shows for their students. The D.O.M.E educational material target students from all years of schooling. The project’s aim is 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. Students will use this opportunity to increase their competence profiles as well as the science capital of their community and the scientific reasoning and awareness of its members.
