Come Explore The World Above Our Horizon!!!
The planetarium is located inside of Kennedy Academy (K-5) in South Bend, Indiana.
Our planetarium was built in 1972, that was initiated by a government supplemental through an initiative that was provided government funding through the "Race to Space" movement that happened in the late 1960s.
The facility has an impressive 30-foot diameter dome that serves as a unique space in which students can explore the night sky.
In 2018, Kennedy Academy's Planetarium was selected to participate in the Farmers Insurance "Dream Big Teachers Challenge" and was awarded $100,000 to upgrade the facility and technologies housed within our school.
