Look Up to the Stars

Awesome! My 12yr old even wrote down facts to keep so she could share her knowledge. Kevin made it really interesting and because of that we signed up for another one! Great program for those hot summer days and cool nights to look at the stars and learn more about them.

We met Kevin at Dixon, Illinois, where my kids got to watch a meteor shower with him. After he answered all my children's questions and took pictures with them. We are fulfilling elijahsbabybucketlist.com for my terminal son! He helped make unforgettable memories my kids will cherish for their entire lifetime!

Kevin Manning's presentations are fantastic. They are engaging and filled with well-organized astronomy information. I am pursuing a degree in aerospace engineering, enkindled in part by Kevin's presentations that I attended when I was younger.

I've seen 5 or 6 different presentations given by Kevin Manning of LOOK UP TO THE STARS. They are fascinating presentations, suitable for elementary school to older folks like me. Kevin knows this material so well (being a real astronomer!) that he can answer any question an attendee might have about our solar system, our galaxy, and the universe of stars and planets. I can't recommended him highly enough! 5 stars!

Kevin does an absolutely wonderful job of inspiring, engaging, and educating with Look Up to the Stars.

Kevin presented several times to an adult audience at our library, and then set up his telescope, which he had made himself, including grinding and polishing the mirror. Some adults brought their kids. We took turns climbing a ladder and seeing a close-up of the sky. The audience loved it.

Wonderful, innovative programs for all ages! Stargazing, MicroObservatory, Universe Quilt all extremely innovative and engaging.

Wonderful! Kevin did a program for my library a few years ago. Everyone, even the young children were mesmerized as he explained about the size and scope of the universe. It was easily understandable and he threw in things that adults would get like references to Star Trek. Afterwards he stayed for 1 1/2 hours letting kids and adults alike look through his homemade telescope. He took the time to have a lengthy conversation with a teen who was interested in becoming an astronomer.

I had the great pleasure and opportunity to assist to one of Kevin’s conferences with also some “watching the stars” activity right after. It was amazing and so entertaining for the whole family. I will definitely try to see him again with my 2 teenagers. Thank you Kevin.

Very hands on and well organized. My daughter had a great time at this virtual camp.

Kevin's program is so much fun and informative for those curious young minds. I would highly recommend to those who are interested in having STEM programs.

Loved having this program at our library! I had just as much fun as the patrons!

One of my science research student loved watching your videos.

The camp staff are so knowledgeable about Astronomy. We learned so much!

Had everyone enthralled with his amazing presentation at our library. Included a great hands-on look through a large telescope! Everyone loved it!

Very informative and hands-on. Also included a telescope kit and t-shirt!

Everyone who attended the program was talking about it for weeks afterward. Thank you for providing such an enjoyable evening for our community. It was a very informative program and we appreciate all you did to make the evening such a success!

My son, Richard and I attended your lecture at the Hampton Bays library last week. Richard is still talking about it! He is so inspired about the universe -it is amazing to see him grow and learn. Attending your lecture was a real treat - thank you.
