Cape Town - Teachers from Rusthof LSEN, a special needs school in Strand, were ââover the moonââ when they won a digital planetarium dome for their learners, but a bump in the road came when they realised shipping it from London and setting it up would be too costly.
The 360° dome, created by Immersive Experiences, is valued at R142 000 and offers children a sensory learning experience of the planetarium system.
Shipping the prize and buying additional equipment for the dome to function would cost the school over R58 000.
