•  July 13: The Moon. The phases of the moon and why does the moon change?
•  July 16: A special evening program viewing the moon through a telescope, weather permitting and time and place to be announced.
•  July 20: Aliens. Are we alone in the universe? Who else might be out there? You may design your own alien to take home.
•  July 27: Stars. You can examine the constellations and even design one. Learn about the night sky.
•  Aug. 3: Astronauts. What do they wear? How do they eat and sleep in space? How do they land on a planet?
•  Aug. 10: Planets. How many planets are there and where are they located in our universe?
