I have done several outreach evenings for scool kids and it can be a blast.

You have been given some good advice...some things I have learned.

Have a step stool or box for the kids to stand one

Choose a night with a quarter moon or less

Keep the objects simple...moon, planet (Jupiter or Saturn), Jewel Box and a few constelations or asterisms.

Have some basic information available, how big, how old, how far away...and of course some background info on the types of scopes and how thy work.

Enjoy!
