CALENDAR FULL

Our visit schedule for the the 2024-25 school year is now full.


Any additional requests received for the 2024-25 school year will be automatically waitlisted. If dates become available due to cancellation or rescheduling, schools on the waitlist will be contacted about any available dates. Schools remaining on the waitlist at the end of the school year will receive priority notice once requests open for the 2025-26 school year.


Our availability for Summer 2025 is not final. Requests for Summer 2025 will be waitlisted until availability is finalized, and our team will contact waitlisted groups about available dates at that time.


Requests for the 2025-26 school year will open late July/early August.

Morehead offers multiple opportunities for scholarships to cover one day of fees for our Outreach programs.


Scholarships are awarded to schools based on level of need, geographic location, and other factors to ensure that scholarship funds are offered equally to schools across the state in financial need.


By indicating "yes" below, your school will be added to our scholarship waitlist and will be evaluated for scholarship eligibility/availability once funds are made available at the end of the waitlist period.


Funds are typically made available in late August for visits tentatively scheduled in the Fall, and by late September for visits scheduled in the Spring.


Schools that request after the waitlist period will be evaluated for eligibility and awarded funding on a first-come, first-serve basis as funding remains available.



 
 

 

Visit Information

Please answer the below about your preferences for your visit date, time and locations.


Note: In order to plan educator travel efficiently such that we are visiting schools in nearby areas on the same week, we are unable to honor requests for specific dates in the vast majority of cases.


We will review your information provided below along with our travel schedule and offer the earliest available date on our calendar that we are travelling in your school's area.

 
 

i.e. holidays, breaks, teacher workdays, testing, half-days, picture days, etc.

 
 
 
 

List conflicts like lunch times etc. If you're able to adjust lunch times or conflicts, let us know.


We will use this info to determine session times. We do not start sessions before 9am.

 
 
 

I.e. Multipurpose room, Gym, specific classroom number. Please note the space requirements for the inflatable dome if your visit will include a mobile planetarium show.

 
 

 

Program Options

 


The Morehead in Motion: Earth and Beyond program offers 3 choices of programs for your school:


Classroom programs: Students experience exciting astronomy visualizations, explore moon phases and light, learn to map planetary surfaces, hunt for exoplanets, and much more!


Mobile Planetarium: Bring one of our many planetarium shows to your school in our inflatable dome.


Both Options! - Schedule a pair of classes and a planetarium show (or vice versa) for the same day, or classrooms one day and planetarium the next day).

 

 

Additional Information

 

If you have any preference on visit day/date range or specific months/weeks, use this space to elaborate.


Please note that we do not schedule visits on Mondays or Fridays.


We are usually unable to honor preferences for specific dates due to the volume of requests we receive.


While we will consider preference for certain months and dates when making our schedule, we will typically initially offer the earliest available date that our program is able to visit in your area before exploring dates later in the calendar.
