discover your place in space
Blast off to explore our planet, the Solar System, and the Milky Way. Discover your place in all of that space! Using the excitement of NASA’s mission and programs, students will engage in hands-on activities and experiments. By identifying challenges and proposing solutions to space related situations, students will develop their knowledge and process skills in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Students will stir up their creative juices as they work in teams to understand toys in microgravity, build a rocket, create alien slimes, and program robotics.
