Scope This Out, Mr. Banneker!

Saturday, August 1; 1:30 – 3:30 p.m.

Learn the telescope from the inside out. Assemble a replica of Galileo’s telescope and learn the history of this instrument so important to Mr. Banneker’s understanding of the heavens. Carl Olson, historian and librarian from Towson University, will speak and guide small groups in the assembly and use of our telescope kits. A great family activity.
