The purpose of this IQP is to analyze current techniques of public education employed at the Alden Planetarium of the Worcester EcoTarium. Commonly used programs from other planetariums were considered to improve the ease and quality of public education at the Alden Planetarium. Through this research, it was discovered that a large budget is helpful, but not necessary, to create a successful program.
