    Celebrate Islamic History Month by discovering the remarkable story of Maryam Al-Astrulabi, a brilliant 10th-century Muslim inventor and astronomer. Her work with the astrolabe helped people study the stars, tell time, and navigate the world. Learn how the sun, moon, and stars can help us understand our place in the universe, then create your own sundial in a fun, hands-on activity inspired by her legacy! In partnership with York Region Muslims. Ages 6-12, no registration required.
