Digitarium
CIESC lends out one Digitarium Mu for free to member schools to serve students throughout Central Indiana. The Digitarium Mu is the newest in digital, portable planetariums and will engage youth in your community.
To use the digital planetarium, instructors must attend a free training session — please check the upcoming training dates.
Reserving a Digitarium
If you are part of a member school and have completed the training, you can reserve a Digitarium for up to two weeks (consecutively or not). Refer to the Digitarium Rental page to confirm your requested dates are available.
We typically deliver and pick up the Digitarium on a Friday. That may be subject to change, and we’ll communicate any changes to you.
