LEARN ·2023 Grants ChallengeGriffith Observatory Fifth-Grade School Programs
The Griffith Observatory Fifth-Grade School Programs, including the In-person School Program and the Online School Program, annually provide tens of thousands of local students with a free STEAM experience using the Observatory's exhibits, planetarium shows, Zeiss telescope, and more. Most students are from Title I schools and underserved populations. Because the programs' content is based on California state science standards, it gives teachers a supplemental resource and helps kids better understand what they're learning in the classroom.
