My Project

On April 8, 2024, a solar eclipse will be visible for the students who attend our Elementary. This visualization of this experience will allow them to see firsthand how the moon moves in front of the sun to form an eclipse. For most of the students, this will be the first time experiencing this amazing solar event.

For the safety of the students, while looking at the eclipse taking place, solar eclipse glasses will help prevent any harmful effects.

The students will enjoy the memories of experiencing this event with their classmates for years.
