Space Explorers

Are you a star-gazer? An adventurer? Hop in the ship and let’s BOLDLY GO! In this class, nerds learn a ton about space exploration, but they also get to build, imagine, and create! Sometimes we are learning together and discussing what difficulties we might have living in space, and other times we are working in interactive stations throughout the room sending “planets” around a “star” in our gravity well demonstration! There is lots of science in this class, but it isn’t about memorizing facts. This class is about wondering, discovering, and building!

• construct scale models of our Solar System
• build straw rockets and launchers
• create your own Space Station
• build your own planet and observe it with the “telescope” you design
• assemble a Mars Rover

• Moon and the Apollo missions
• Life on the International Space Station
• What’s in our Solar System
• How gravity works
• Rocket Science!

Class is 3hrs each day, so bring a snack for break time. Also, bring your own refillable water bottle. Don’t have one? Add our Nerding water bottle to your order and pick up on first day of class!
