This workshop addresses the care and use of the Digital STARLAB portable planetarium. Participants will learn how to setup and take down the STARLAB, as well as learn the basic functions of the software (Starry Night Small Dome) that powers the Digital STARLAB

A MacBook Pro computer that comes with the kit operates the planetarium software. If you have an laptop (preferably an Apple, but PC will work), please bring that with you so the Starry Night Small Dome software can be installed on your computer. (Check with your district to make sure it is OK to install this software onto your laptop and obtain any passwords that you might need in order to do this.) Once installed on your computer, you can explore the various functions of the software on your own, prior to receiving the Digital STARLAB at your school.
