Rocky Mountain Power and Clark Planetarium work to highlight the importance of science education.

Written on March 21st, 2011 | Posted by RIESTER

America’s leadership in technology and innovation boosted the nation’s position as a world leader after World War II. Today the U.S. remains a leader, however, many trends provide cause for alarm—including the low performance of Americans in math and science compared to other nations.

Many of our clients are actively engaged on this issue.

Rocky Mountain Power recently supported a conference called “Expanding Your Horizons,” which hosted 300 girls for a day to encourage them to pursue careers in math and science. Read more at Rocky Mountain Power’s website.

This coming Saturday (March 26) Clark Planetarium in Salt Lake City is hosting veteran astronaut Kent Roiminger who will discuss his experiences in space before a special showing of Hubble 3D. If you’re in Utah, and especially if you have children, you will not want to miss this event. Visit Clark Planetarium’s website for more information.

New Imax film, Hubble 3D, opens tomorrow at Clark Planetarium in Salt Lake City.

Written on March 18th, 2010 | Posted by Stacey Carroll

Clark Planetarium is one of the most educationally satisfying clients for RIESTER’s Salt Lake City office. Every time we help the planetarium promote an event, speaker or new film, our team learns something new about the world around us and how much science affects our daily lives.

Personally, I enjoy “geeking” out at the planetarium and am very excited about the latest film, Hubble 3D, opening tomorrow March 19!

The remarkable images of outer space on the huge IMAX screen will take your breath away and make you think, ‘What else is out there?’

You can watch the trailer and get ticket information at the Clark Planetarium website.

Astronauts Steven L. Smith, and John M. Grunsfeld, appear as small figures in this wide scene photographed during extravehicular activity (EVA). On this space walk they are replacing gyroscopes, contained in rate sensor units (RSU), inside the Hubble Space Telescope. A wide expanse of waters, partially covered by clouds, provides the backdrop for the photograph. Photo and text from NASA.

Tim Riester discussed why science and education are important in a post last year welcoming home space shuttle Discovery.
