Explore Space, Rockets, and the Universe
Students explore the science and engineering behind space exploration.
The program introduces rockets, spacecraft, astronomy, planetary science, and the technology humans use to explore beyond Earth.
Students learn:
How rockets generate thrust
Why reaching orbit requires enormous amounts of energy
How astronauts live and work in space
How spacecraft are designed
How telescopes study the universe
How gravity affects spaceflight
How scientists explore planets and distant objects
Visual materials include major spacecraft and missions such as Saturn V, the Space Shuttle, the Hubble Space Telescope, Mercury, Gemini, and other milestones in space exploration.
Activities include rocket investigations, constellation exploration, spacecraft systems, and flight or rocket simulations.
Junior Space Explorers Academy
The 10-week program allows students to explore rocket engineering, mission planning, planetary science, spacecraft design, astronomy, and simulated flight in greater depth.
Ages: 8–13
Program Options:
1 Hour — $350
2 Hours — $375
3 Hours — $400
10-Week Junior Space Explorers Academy — $495 per student
Available For: Libraries • Schools • Recreation Departments • Camps • Community Organizations • After-School Programs
