Star Truck is a portable, inflatable planetarium dome designed to bring the wonders of the night sky to any place and any community. Star Truck aims to make astronomy more accessible in rural and low-income areas, which often lack access to resources such as planetariums, science museums, astronomical societies, and extensive STEM programming at local schools.
To date, Star Truck has brought shows about solar system formation and protostar systems to Boys and Girls Clubs throughout Washington, serving hundreds of students.
