NASA Moon Landing: Preparing for 2020 and Road Trip through America Combo 8/1-8/5/16

Morning Program: NASA Moon Landing: Preparing for 2020

Students would be working on six different design challenges, inspired by NASA's upcoming mission to set up an outpost station on the Moon in the year 2020. Challenges require students to work collaboratively to brainstorm, design and build "equipment" that would help the astronauts land safely on the moon and be able to transport materials around the satellite while building the outpost station. 

These are fun challenges that allow for kids to apply the engineering design process and core science concepts, while encouraging an interest in space exploration. Each activity is distinct, offering kids variety, and helping them practice important skills, such as problem solving, teamwork, and critical thinking. The challenges are meant to inspire students to want to solve challenging problems, tap into their inner-creativity and curiosity and inspire them to pursue a career in engineering.

Afternoon Program: Road Trip through America 

There is so much to see in the 50 Nifty States. Come on a road trip across our country, making pit stops to learn about important landmarks. You will explore, write travel brochures, and become more knowledgeable about your country. It’s going to be an exciting week taking virtual tours and learning. Pack your bags and get your drivers license out, which you will receive, and lets take an adventure you will never forget!
