Watch This Space?

​The Space Zone of the 'soon to be opened' Atom Club Dorset Science and Technology Centre in North Dorset will be dominated by an 8m planetarium, offering highly immersive 360degree shows. Surrounding the planetarium will be our collection of meteorites, space models and space-flown artefacts. The clever design will allow us to completely clear the clear the centre sections of both zones within 30 minutes, allowing us to hold various community events. Our own events will include science fairs, games/movie nights and small exhibitions. The venue will be available for hire for birthday parties (with our team providing entertainment), corporate events and community fundraisers.

DORSET SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY CENTRE
I’m pleased to announce that thanks to our supporters and our new sponsors; Santander, Dorset County Council and Just Act, we’ve secured the funds needed to open in the very near future. Located in the beautiful countryside of North Dorset, just on the outskirts of Sturminster Newton, the site lends itself to be a long-term base. Plenty of parking, a large outdoor area for dinosaurs, dark skies for astronomy and plenty of room inside for science & coding clubs.
If that wasn’t enough, we’re in talks with some potential sponsors to secure the other half of the building. This would allow us to use our planetarium daily and would also carry 2 themed zones. As you enter forest themed dinosaur zone you will be surrounded by realistic dinosaurs, with sound effects and mist to add to the atmosphere. We’ll of course be displaying our large range of dinosaur bones and fossils, but we also have a unique interactive area planned and the software already written (thanks The Honest Agency!).
