Additionally, the "Youth Astronomy Explorer Camp" offers hands-on activities like building mini-telescopes, drawing constellations, and recording observational data—perfect for kids aged 8–16. Participants also enjoy digital planetarium shows simulating ancient sky patterns and Earth’s axial tilt. All events are low-cost or free, but require advance registration via the official website.
