Comments from STEM Ambassadors who assisted with planetarium operations at the 2019 Royal International Air Tattoo:

• "Thank you for making it a very easy and enjoyable experience for volunteers, it was an excellent day"
• "It was great to be involved in the planetarium experience at RIAT this year! It’s something completely different to any other STEM activity I’ve taken part in, and I think it’s a really engaging way of teaching young people about science and engineering"
• "From a personal side, the Immersive Theatres Planetarium was my big one. I used to be claustrophobic, so spending about 1/2 a day in the dome and enjoying it was something I simply could not have done a couple of years ago"
