My Sky, funded by NASA and created through a partnership between Boston Children’s Museum and Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, is an immersive and inspiring traveling exhibit designed to engage adults and children, ages 5 – 10, in early investigations of astronomical science.

The focus of the exhibit is on interactive explorations of objects and phenomena visible in the sky, encouraging families to “look up” not only when they visit the exhibit, but as a practice they adopt in their everyday lives.

My Sky introduces children and their caregivers to foundational science skills: observation, communication, pattern recognition, prediction, estimation, theory-making, imagination and creativity…science skills that are fundamental to astronomical science, and skills that serve as building blocks to later, more complex STEM thinking and doing.
