Ghana Science Project

Ghana Planetarium is the first digital planetarium in sub-Saharan Africa and offers a unique interactive experience for children and adults of all ages. Through a visit the children of Ghana will explore the beauty and wonder of the universe, learning about the big bang, our solar system, the stars and all that we see in the night sky.

We hope that by visiting Ghana Planetarium, children will leave enthused about astronomy and inspired to ask further questions about the world around us, thereby igniting a passion for wider science disciplines, such as physics, mathematics and chemistry. Alongside this we also wish to instil a strong environmental ethos, promoting the idea that every person has a responsibility to look after our planet through recycling, re-using and managing our waste.

For schools, we offer exciting hands-on sessions where pupils will undertake a range of activities centring around a theme, all of which will include a planetarium show and a practical task.

Currently we offer:

The age range gives an approximate indication of the level of the activities involved, although these need not be strictly adhered to. Additionally, if you have a specific curriculum area that you would like to see covered, please do not hesitate to contact us to discuss your requirements.

All sessions last for two hours and can be booked for either a morning (9:30-11:30am) or an afternoon (1:00-3:00pm). The Ghana Planetarium can accommodate groups of up to 40 and ask that there is at least one member of staff per 15 children. All bookings should be made in advance by telephone or email, with full payment made at least three working days prior to the visit.
