The Putnam has an exciting new educational tool available to help you bring learning to life for your students.
The Discovery Dome is a portable fully immersive planetarium that uses a 360-degree projector to show earth, space, and life science topics in an entertaining, scientifically accurate and educationally inspiring manner.
The Putnam’s new Discovery Dome is the one of the few such domes in the region. The closest dome is located at the Adler Planetarium in Chicago.
