Enhancing accessibility at CPPCo Planetarium in many ways, Dr. Henscheid’s Cloud upload included a caption file for a classic fulldome show that explores a number of prominent astronomy myths and misconceptions. A Digistar user for a handful of years, Dr. Henscheid’s upload of this caption file reflects the Digistar Planetarium’s wider commitment to diversity and inclusivity as well as its broader initiative to provide accessible educational experiences for Spanish-speaking audiences. Offering Spanish-language shows on a regular cadence, CPPCo Planetarium’s programming aligns with the College’s mission as a Hispanic-Serving Institution, enhancing cultural representation and ensuring that all community members can engage with scientific content and be inspired by a visit to the planetarium.
“Years ago, the Digistar Cloud was created to make it easier for our amazing community – which we are an active member of – to share content, collaborate, and support each other,” said Melinda Orms, Cosm’s Senior Product Manager of Digistar/CX Engine. “Reaching 2,000 shared assets shows just how powerful this resource has become, thanks to the passion and creativity of our users. I’m excited to see how the Digistar Cloud continues to evolve and expand as we all work to shape the future of immersive learning, together.”
