Educational Dome Theater
The Thomas J. Devlin Educational Dome Theater is a digital planetarium located at Bradley Elementary School. All Fort Leavenworth students are exposed to astronomy as they learn about our solar system, view the night's sky, identify constellations, explore the wonders of deep space, and enjoy state-of-the-art full-dome shows. Presentations are aligned to both the College & Career Readiness Standards and the Next Generation Science Standards.
Student Presenters

A fifth-grader steps forward into the spotlight of the darkened room, clears her voice, and starts speaking into the microphone. Using Splashtop on her iPad to run the show, she projects her carefully prepared slides onto the dome ceiling of the planetarium. Classmates, teachers, and visitors from other grades listen intently for the next five minutes as the young speaker explains what she has learned about constellations during her research.
