About
Adler Planetarium Youth STEAM Programs include youth STEAM programs, neighborhood skywatching events, and online citizen science. The programs connect people to the universe and each other through these activities.
Located on Chicago’s lakeshore since 1930, the Adler Planetarium connects people to the universe and each other. The museum typically hosts more than half a million visitors each year and reaches millions more through youth STEAM programs, neighborhood skywatching events, online citizen science, and other outreach efforts. It is the first planetarium in the Western Hemisphere and brings a unique approach—scientific exploration rooted in community and connection—to guests from around the world. People can also enjoy the digital Adler from their own homes, libraries, schools, or offices.
