The program

What to look forward to.

Breck Sky School takes place at Breckenridge Elementary and Upper Blue Elementary on Monday, November 23, 2026, so students can take part during their school day. The school program runs from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM MST. Individual session lengths are arranged directly with the schools.

The proposed format combines an AstroTours astronomy station with activities from local science and education organizations. Invitations have gone out to schools and potential education partners; station leaders and activities will be listed once agreed.

Program highlights

  • School visits shaped around students and teachers
  • Supervised solar observing and hands-on science
  • Activity stations with room for education partners
