2:00 PM  –  4:00 PM

Join the MMA for an informational presentation about the upcoming solar eclipse, followed by a hands-on workshop during which we participants will make their very own pinhole camera to use to safely observe the April 8 solar eclipse!

During the presentation we will discuss eclipses, explain why they happen, answer your questions, and provide information about how to view the April 8 solar eclipse safely. The presentation will take place from 2pm-2:30pm and will be followed by the pinhole camera making workshop, from 2:30pm-4pm. You are welcome to attend either or both events.

If you plan to attend the pinhole camera making workshop, please bring a shoebox or cereal box along with you (one for each participant that would like to make a pinhole camera). We will hand out eclipse glasses during this workshop. If you plan to attend the pinhole camera making workshop, please bring a shoebox or cereal box along with you (one for each participant that would like to make a pinhole camera).
