Your next mission starts here!
July is a very exciting time at PARI. Our summer camps are in full swing and we're leading young learners through explorations and investigations in astrophysics and satellite communications.
However, as we host these camps, it limits our ability to provide public visitation to the site. At this time we have reached capacity for public visits during the month of July.
We thank everyone who has already scheduled a visit for the overwhelming interest in PARI this summer! We look forward to resuming normal visitation in August and hope anyone planning a trip to the area will plan at stop at PARI then.
