Tanglewood students are very excited this week as they are making their first visit to the new Digital StarLab. This Digital StarLab, the first and only of its kind to be purchased by any Louisiana school, is shared between Tanglewood Elementary and Central Intermediate Schools. The StarLab allows students to learn about day and night, the phases of the moon, stars, constellations, and the planets in an interactive way. It allows them to experience a panoramic view of the night sky and other space events shown in an accelerated time lapse to show changes that seem insignificant over time. Tanglewood looks forward to hosting its first annual Astronomy Night on November 9th, where parents will have the opportunity to experience the Digitial StarLab and other astronomy activities with their 2nd and 3rd graders.
