Da Niao and Big Bird Look at the Sky

August 1, 2003 - July 31, 2011 | Media and Technology, Public Programs, Informal/Formal Connections

Sesame Workshop created a new planetarium show and outreach activities for children ages 5 and 6 and their families, teachers and other caregivers. The Adler Planetarium & Astronomy Museum, the Beijing Planetarium and the Liberty Science Center also collaborated on the "sharing the sky" themed show to help Chinese and American children identify differences and similarities in their respective associations to astronomy.
