Our June Fundamentals continues our annual tradition of providing a family night of science. Just because school is out for the summer (not forever), doesn’t mean the opportunity to learn is also on hiatus. If you have some budding science enthusiasts at home, you may consider coming down to our Family Fun Night on June 17th. What can you expect from an evening with the Naperville Astronomical Association? The family fun night is geared toward kids of all ages. We will have hands-on activities to learn about constellations, the motion of the Earth and the Moon, and much more. Please save the date, and spend an evening with members from NAA.

During our June Fundamentals, NAA members, led by our Fundamentals Program Director, Ron Ziss, will lead you and your family through various hands-on exercises as you learn about astronomy related subjects.
