A Planetarium for Every Classroom

Jeff Adkins will be at NSTA Atlanta on Saturday, April 3 2004 to explain how to build a cardboard planetarium, share copies of the plans, and provide updates to the designs on this web site.

Here are links to ZIP files containing ...

• the presentation outline (pdf, 44Kb)
• the presentation itself compressed into jpg format (Quicktime, 13 Mb) *
• the original Keynote presentation file (3.0 Mb). *
• the workshop handout prepared as a pdf file (not zipped, 492 Kb)*

Each of these* is a large file and will require a long time to download over a modem connection. You need a utility such as WinZIP or Stuffit Expander to decompress the files. The Keynote presentation will only run on a Mac using OS X 10.3 and Keynote 1.01 or later.
