We would like to thank NSC CREATIVE whose full-dome productions we love, who have generously donated some favourite programmes. We would like to thank the staff at THE NATIONAL SPACE CENTRE, LEICESTER, UK, for their warm welcome. Two of our most popular programmes are Astronaut and We are Astronomers.

We’d like to express our gratitude to MIKE BRUNO of SPITZ who organised the donation of The Zula Patrol and Oasis in Space, another favourite programme.

Oasis In Space transports the audience on a startling and beautiful voyage through our universe, galaxy and solar system in search of liquid water - a key ingredient for life on Earth. Suitable for viewers of all ages.

The Zula Patrol www.zula.com The Zula Patrol, a 3D/CG animated children's show, is designed to entertain while promoting an understanding of science and astronomy through engaging character-driven stories, which focus on specific educational science learning objectives. In every episode of The Zula Patrol, the characters demonstrate inquiry-based learning and critical thinking skills. They also model inquisitiveness, observation, self-reflection, and social experiences that encourage collaboration, teamwork, and an excitement for scientific exploration and problem solving.

The Zula Patrol television show is a part of Zula's PreK - 3rd Grade curriculum titled Zula's Exploration Mission Modules and Afterschool Program titled Zula's Afterschool Discovery Program. Both the school and afterschool programs provide all materials needed for children to view and discuss an episode of The Zula Patrol, read a similarly themed book, complete a similarly themed hands-on activity, and go online to ZulaWorld.com for a technology-based exploration of the program topics.
