Training Fee
All presenters need to receive "basic training" before using the equipment. Basic training includes:
set-up/take-down procedure
use of the projector
switching cylinders
limited time familiarizing trainee(s) with the cylinders
expectations for keeping equipment safe
safety tips.
Training can take place on The College of Idaho campus or at your site. This training takes about 1.5 hours. Training larger groups takes longer so adjustments in cost can be expected under such circumstances.
Additional training may include more advanced use of the equipment, such as using the planet and/or moon projectors, more extensive familiarization with the night sky, and/or more extensive astronomy education pedagogy.
$125 basic training fee for groups of up to four people.
$25 for each additional increment of 4 trainees. (For example, training a group of 5-8 people would cost $150.)
$200 for a training involving additional training topics such as those mentioned. Additional training should not exceed 2 hours.
Delivery Fee
Current mileage reimbursement rate is $0.725/mile plus time and is subject to change. Rates are estimated in advance and adjusted as needed.
