One of the things we love most is seeing how educators use fulldome film to create experiences that stay with an audience long after they've left the dome.

The Joe Show runs a mobile planetarium program, and he's built his whole approach around pairing great content with curriculum-based discussion. The films spark the conversation, and the learning deepens from there. He's been using ocean and nature titles from our catalogue to help students connect with marine ecosystems and conservation in a way that genuinely resonates.

In his words: "𝘙𝘦𝘦𝘧'𝘴 𝘧𝘶𝘭𝘭𝘥𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘧𝘪𝘭𝘮𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘺 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱𝘦𝘥 𝘶𝘴 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘦 𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘺, 𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘬 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯 𝘢𝘯 𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘺."

Our short-term 2-3 day licensing has been a great fit for mobile operators like Joe. Being able to pick up titles as needed, rotate the programme, and keep things relevant to each audience fits the rhythm of how mobile programmes naturally work. It also means more educators can bring this kind of experience to the communities they serve.

We'd love to see more programmes finding their own version of what Joe has built here.

"Our audiences absolutely love everything I have shown from this list! I heard squeals of joy from guests during a birthday party where I showed Dinosaurs! I immediately put it on our public schedule. We have found everything we have streamed to be high quality, which we really appreciate when streaming. The support has been fantastic too! Welcome to the streaming arena! We look forward to even more offerings!"

Squeals of joy at a birthday party? That's exactly what we're here for. Rebecca's experience highlights something many planetariums are discovering: streaming opens up new possibilities for programming flexibility. She was able to test Dinosaurs at a private event, gauge the audience reaction in real time, and immediately add it to her public schedule based on that enthusiastic response. Thank you, Rebecca and the team at Shiras, for sharing your experience with our streaming platform!

Kids remember stories 22 times better than facts.

That's cognitive science – and exactly why planetariums are rethinking how they introduce astronomy to young audiences.

Little Major Tom wraps real STEM concepts into adventure. Children don't just learn about space missions – they wonder: *Could that be me up there one day?*

Through Tom and Stella's missions, orbital mechanics, life support systems, and robotics become part of stories that spark genuine curiosity.

What makes it work for educators:

→ Themed lesson blocks ready to build on (living in space, robotics, environmental challenges beyond Earth)

→ Aligned with ESA/ESO frameworks like "How to Become an Astronaut"

→ Teaches teamwork, resilience, and problem-solving alongside STEM

→ Designed for planetarium domes and immersive theaters

We've watched kids walk out talking about becoming astronauts and engineers – not because they were told to, but because they saw themselves in the story.
