Intrepid Adventures: Star Stories
May 18, 3:00pm–4:00pm
For millennia, people have gazed at the night sky and told themselves stories about the pictures they see there.

Using images of the night sky, stories from different cultures and examples of simple navigation tools, an Intrepid Educator will help participants view their sky in a whole new way.
