School students from Cootamundra, Junee and Wagga Wagga will experience the stellar opportunities of higher education in a visit to Charles Sturt University (CSU) tomorrow 15 September as part of the CSU Future Moves aspiration outreach program. The students from Years 6 and 7 will reach for the skies in the COSMODOME mobile planetarium as part of a Check it Out Day and the Sky Stories project. The students will attend one of three sessions from 9.30am to 2.30pm at the basketball courts, opposite Beres Ellwood Oval, Valder Way, CSU in Wagga Wagga. The Sky Stories project aims to use astronomy to engage students in Science, Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).

At the same time it reinforces STEM skills at school." Read more about the Future Moves program here and the Sky Stories project initiatives on Facebook.
