About Learning Technologies, Inc. (LTI) . . .

Since the invention in 1977 of the first truly portable planetarium, known as STARLAB, Learning Technologies, Inc. has sought to make available high-quality, hands-on, minds-on tools for education. STARLAB has brought a universe of excitement and learning to millions—young and old alike—throughout the world. LTI's latest innovation is an all-in-one digital projection system called Digital STARLAB. LTI has furthered its mission by offering affordable Project STAR Hands-on Science Kits, developed by high school teachers and scientists at the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics as well as its latest innovation, Sunspotter—The Safer Solar Telescope. Our goal is to provide innovative, high-quality, affordable tools and materials to educators that foster interactive and hands-on learning while motivating students of all ages. Our products reflect our belief that students will better learn a concept when they explore and then test their own theories using minds-on tools and materials that challenge, inspire and generate enthusiasm. It is also our aim to contribute astronomy education opportunities where they may never have existed previously.

Learning Technologies has three basic product lines:

• The STARLAB Portable Planetarium and Digital STARLAB
• The Project STAR Hands-on Science Materials
• and LTI Astronomy Products which includes the Sunspotter Solar Telescope, planispheres and many wonderful curriculum titles, software and DVDs.
