TJ Danahy, an aspiring astronaut in the 7th grade in Chicago worked with Logan to create a series of educational videos about the solar system.

BY the time the COVID-19 pandemic hit in the spring of 2020, TJ was investigating ways to do more than visit and learn from the Adler Planetarium, he wanted to find a way to help.

TJ learned about Logan’s video skills from a family friend and asked him to help create a series of educational videos about the solar system.

Logan came to Chicago first for a long weekend to film, and, when the boys didn’t finish as much as they wanted to, he returned for a week over the summer.

They created a video series, Kids Keep Adler, aimed at helping students who are homeschooled or doing remote school learn more about the solar system. While the videos are free to watch on YouTube, TJ is asking everyone who uses them to make a donation to a GoFundMe account set up to benefit the planetarium, which is set to reopen March 4, 2022.
