Nick Eakes has been an informal science educator at the Morehead Planetarium and Science Center (MPSC) since 2008. Nick is a proud product of Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools and went on to receive his BA in Psychology from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2012. Along with actively presenting astronomy programs in the planetarium, Nick designs curriculum, travels the state with the NC Science Festival, and is currently the coordinator of Morehead's astronomy outreach programs - including the Mobile Planetarium and Skywatching. The goal of these programs is to bring the planetarium experience to under-served and under-represented school children in North Carolina that are unable to make a trip to Chapel Hill. These programs travel to all 100 counties in our state. Nick considers himself a student of great science communicators, such as Carl Sagan, and wants to continue the tradition of connecting the public to one another within our shared universe. Nick works towards making cutting edge science accessible to not only the future/current scientists of his community, but also to every citizen with a curious mind.
