Outreach Programs by Morehead

Outreach

Service to the State of North Carolina — that's part of Morehead Planetarium and Science Center's educational mission.

Morehead is centrally located, but North Carolina is a big state. Some school districts may be a five-hour drive from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Morehead's home.

To serve schoolchildren across the state, Morehead offers outreach programs, including these:

  • DESTINY Traveling Science Learning Program, serving high schools
  • DREAMS, serving middle schools
  • PLANETS Portable Planetarium Program, serving elementary schools
  • Science in the Summer, a GlaxoSmithKline program that delivers science camps to libraries and other community sites
