Telescope

Discover the wonders of space and science with the Build-Your-Own Telescope activity! In this hands-on STEM project, kids assemble a simple telescope to explore how lenses bend light, how images are magnified, and how optical elements work together to make distant objects appear closer. As they peer through their creation, they’ll learn key concepts in optics, light behavior, and magnification, making it a fun and educational introduction to the science behind telescopes and vision.
