Junior Space Explorers Academy (Ages 8–13)
Get ready for an incredible journey across the Solar System and beyond!
Our 10-week Junior Space Explorers Academy introduces students to astronomy, planetary science, and space exploration through hands-on activities, engineering challenges, creative projects, and interactive demonstrations. Students will investigate planets, stars, black holes, rockets, alien worlds, and the search for life beyond Earth while building scientific curiosity and critical thinking skills.
Throughout the program, students will:
Explore the planets, moons, asteroids, and comets of our Solar System
Learn how stars are born, live, and die in spectacular supernova explosions
Discover black holes, neutron stars, and other strange objects in the universe
Build and test rockets while learning the science of spaceflight
Investigate meteor impacts and create crater experiments
Explore the Moon, lunar missions, and future Moon bases
Design their own planets and alien ecosystems using real scientific principles
Learn how astronomers search for exoplanets and signs of life beyond Earth
Create constellation viewers, star wheels, nebula artwork, and other take-home projects
Complete a final Space Mission Challenge and Junior Space Explorer graduation ceremony
Every session includes hands-on activities, guided instruction, engineering challenges, and a take-home project. Students learn through exploration, experimentation, and creativity, making complex space science concepts accessible, memorable, and exciting.
No prior science experience is required. All materials are provided, and activities are designed to be age-appropriate, engaging, and safe under instructor supervision.
By the end of the program, students won’t just know more about space—they’ll understand how scientists explore the universe and how new discoveries are made.
Program Length: 10 Weeks
Session Length: 2 Hours Per Week
Age Group: 8–13 Years Old
Includes: Hands-on projects, engineering challenges, take-home activities, Space Explorer certificate, and Junior Space Explorer graduation.
Format: Library • School • Community Program • Summer Program
