Secrets of space

Cahoots NI, based in Belfast, Northern Ireland, aims to "inspire a sense of wonder, unlock imagination and nurture a love of the arts in children." Last week, 5th graders from Harrisonburg City Public Schools and Rockingham County Public Schools experienced this sense of wonder through storytelling and dazzling illusions at Wilson Hall Auditorium. 

Suni and Mae are dreamers. As young girls, they dreamt about journeying far beyond our solar system, singing among the stars and discovering all that was unknown to them - the secrets of space. Using magical illusions and a state-of-the-art digital LED wall, the sisters and the audience embark on an interactive journey across the galaxy. The wonders of outer space are explored with dazzling imagery and key ideas and inventions in science, technology, and engineering. Secrets of Space has been developed with leading space industry experts​.
