Planetarium Adventures

Objective: Help planetarium directors engage more with the public. People like to share their experiences.

Summary: This project is an integration for OpenSpace (OpenSpace is an open-source project, partially funded by NASA). It integrates the planetarium software into WordPress. The goal helps the public engage beyond the face-to-face experience, providing content from the planetarium session into a shareable digital format. Through my conversations with other planetarium directors, it is a wanted feature.

Tech used:

• OpenSpace planetarium software
• Kubernetes deployment (scalable web format)
• React UI
• WordPress CMS (for ease of use)
• CrowdSignal (for creating in-session polls)
