🖐️ Hello, everyone! Nice to meet you. Thanks for the invitation, Vinicius Oliveira!

My name's Paul Prouse, and I'm a Teacher of Physics at Bromsgrove School in the UK. I have responsibility for Astronomy & Space Education & Outreach and am a Co-Director of The Matthew Taylor Observatory.

I was fortunate to attend the D.O.M.E. Summer School in 2023. I've attached a screenshot of my draft presentation about star hopping. I wish you all every success with your educational projects, and look forward to working with you. Clear skies!

Greetings all - Frances from Cork, Ireland, with Blackrock Castle Observatory, a member of the partnership.

I started working in planetariums in 1984  - with my first summer job, and think they are wonderful way for all ages of learners to immerse themselves into an environment.

Greetings from Portugal. My name is Nuno Lança and I work as a Chemistry and Physics teacher in the public school system. I'm a lifelong learner and science/technology enthusiast, constantly looking for new approaches to learning/teaching. I began developing a DOME with my 7th grade students (have the required plywood templates and 3D printed parts) but the work hasn't played out as expected, since everyone seems so keen on keeping their large cardboard boxes (yes, looking at you IKEA!). Working with my students on developing Stellarium presentations worth of this glorious screen!

@nunolanca thank you for your greeting! It is wonderful that you are building a DOME! Maybe we can start collecting cardboard for you in our maker space!! How else can we support you?

@priscila-doran Thank you so very much!
The small prototype was built and tested, but the project is paused at this moment.
We will resume the cardboard collection work in September!
