'EEPs and Planetariums are the two educational ventures of the OCESS, and are dedicated to teaching other students about Space, Space Science, and Space Exploration.


The EEP/Planetarium Educational Consortium is the principal source of revenue for the OCESS, and one of the most important parts of fufilling our mission statement.

The Planetarium Program, currently led by Ms. Guangye Cao and assisted by Ms. Chen Chen, takes our inflatable planetarium, which is the only other one in the region aside from the Museum of Science and Technology's, on the road to various high schools in the area. Basic principles of astronomy are reviewed, which fit nicely with the Grade 9 Science curriculum's astronomy unit.
