Foundation unveils new Starlab planetarium, The Wilton Bulletin:
At the Wilton Education Foundation’s “An Evening of Stars,” a first-ever thank
you to foundation supporters and school staff, a large crowd gathered at the
home of Jennifer and Duncan Toll on September 15, 2007 for the unveiling of
the
new
Starlab inflatable planetarium. Casting aside their shoes, and crawling through
the tunnel
into
the planetarium, the party-goers were greeted by Kevin Meehan, Cider Mill School’s
science instructional leader, who presided over a show-and-tell of sorts.
Tucked into the 11-foot dome, sitting cross-legged on the floor, the groups of adults cycling through pointed to the ceiling, whispered and giggled, sounding and acting much like a class of schoolchildren. Mr. Meehan said he hopes to get much the same response from his students, and believes the Starlab will bring that excitement to the classroom.
