You are kindly invited to join us as we celebrate the 4th annual Astronomy in the City event on Friday, May 15 from 5:30 – 8:30 pm at MIT.

This Spring, we celebrate a promising group of middle and high school students from communities in the Greater Boston area. These youth have been participating in programs from the education group at the MIT Kavli Institute for Astrophysics and Space Research.

Come and enjoy our youth's performances that feature beautiful visual aids, clever demonstrations, oral presentations and astronomy-inspired theater and planetarium shows.
