This planning grant award addresses the subject of cosmology using contemporary film technology. A screen play and film prototype will take viewers from the historical Big Bang phenomena to contemporary thinking on dark energy and matter. STEM disciplines incorporated within this project are mathematics, physics, biology, chemistry and geology, in addition to astronomy. An additional significant issue in this award will be the effort to form a network of dome and planetarium theaters. Such an organization could facilitate promotion and evaluation of this project and future projects. In the future, the network will be positioned to assess the differences in educational impact from large format flat screen, large format dome screen and planetarium dome presentations. Collaborations on this project include The Reuben H. Fleet Science Center, the Mathematics Science Research Institute, and advisors George Smoot and Saul Perlmutter of the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory. Barbara Flagg is the project evaluator. Specific needs for the planning grant are to: 1. gather formative evaluation on audience parameters; 2. develop a short prototype film and a first draft of the screen play; 3. complete the advisory team;4. translate the deliverables into Spanish language; 5. evaluate and bid the computer animation facilities; and 5. identify a network of dome and planetarium theaters for their evaluation.

这个规划奖旨在利用当代电影技术探讨宇宙学的主题。一部电影剧本和电影原型将把观众从历史上的大爆炸现象带到当代对暗能量和物质的思考。除了天文学之外，该项目中纳入的STEM学科还有数学，物理学，生物学，化学和地质学。在这个奖项的另一个重要问题将是努力形成一个网络的圆顶和天文馆剧院。这样一个组织可以促进对这个项目和未来项目的宣传和评价。在未来，该网络将被定位为评估教育影响的差异，从大格式平面屏幕，大格式圆顶屏幕和天文馆圆顶介绍。该项目的合作伙伴包括The Reuben H。舰队科学中心，数学科学研究所，和顾问乔治斯穆特和扫罗珀尔马特的劳伦斯伯克利实验室。芭芭拉·弗拉格是项目评估员。规划补助金的具体需求是：1。收集对受众参数的形成性评价; 2.制作一部短片原型和剧本初稿; 3.完善咨询团队; 4.将可交付成果翻译成西班牙语; 5.电脑动画设施的评估及投标;及确定一个圆顶和天文馆剧院网络进行评估。
