My interactive astronomy show is 2 hours. It can be modified to suit your needs. I realize that enrichment programs and grants have limited funds, so I charge $400 per day.
A model rocket clinic is 3 1/2 hours. The children build their own model rocket, learn the safety and history of rocketry, then we launch the rockets up to 800 feet in two seconds. The children purchase a rocket kit for $7. I supply everything needed to build the kits.

Mr. Manning's presentation on space and space travel
was excellent. It was well organized, well-paced, and clearly
understood by fifth graders. The "human solar system" and
rocket launches were a big hit with both adults and children.

all with the aide of Paul's telescope. The girls had a wonderful
time
