All Treats, No Tricks! - Save the Date November 1st 2024
Even though the actual anniversary date for the center is October 31st, on Friday, November 1st, 2024 the Scobee Education Center will celebrate with reduced ticket prices for all planetarium programs! On this date only, everyone gets the Alamo Colleges student and employee rate of $3.00/seat. Tickets to the Nov. 1st planetarium programs will ONLY be sold online for this one night. We fully expect they will be sold out the last weekend of October when they go on sale.
The doors will open at 6:00pm like they do every Friday night and the STEAM activities will conclude by 10:30pm. In addition to the FREE STEAM activities, the planetarium programs in November will be 6:30 - Accidental Astronauts (Family & Children's programming), 8:00 Sky Tonight Live, 9:30 - Black Holes, (Children must be 6 years or older for the 8 & 9:30pm programs.).
More information and recognition of our community partners will appear through our social media. Follow us on FaceBook and Instagram.
Registration for 2024-25 Academic School Year Programs
We are looking ahead to this school year to plan with our partners, ISD leadership and teachers.
Only a short time remains during the first weeks of September, when district level curriculum specialists have advance registration priorities for the school year. In the latter part of September, individual schools and teachers may complete the registration process to secure program dates and times. A few SAWS scholarshhips for Micronaut missions are still available, if your K-3rd grade class is in a school that is a SAWS customer.
Updated 2024-25 registration forms and program descriptions will be available at that time for download through the related sections of this web site for the Scobee Planetarium, Challenger Learning Center, and Santikos Micronaut Center. Teachers, administrators, and district curriculum specialists may also email sac-scobeectr@alamo.edu or call 210-486-0100 for more information.
