CPN in NiŠ

The CPN’s portable planetarium was visited by 1250 elementary and high school students from the Niš County [:]

Students attending elementary schools and high schools in the Niš County had the chance to visit CPN’s portable planetarium, April 7 to 11. The event was organized by The Niš Regional Center.

CPN’s planetarium was setup at the elementary school ”Ratko Vukićević”. During those five days, 1250 students, from 21 different schools, attended the projections.

Most of the visitors were fifth grade elementary schools students, who wanted to know more about the Solar system and astronomy, in general, subjects they are currently studying at their schools. The lecturers at the planetarium adapted the program, according to students’ age, so high school students used their time to learn about subjects like astrophysics and cosmology.

The Regional Center is the first institution of that sort in Serbia, and it deals with the professional development of educators. It was founded as a part of a project, between Norway, Ministry of Education and the city of Niš. The project is titled ”The support of Norway to Establish The Regional Center for Educators’ Professional Development”.
