In our Great Rocket Design Challenge, teams build then launch an air-powered rocket.

Young navigators are responsible for guiding our spacecraft on its journey.

Isolation Team members use a robotic arm to weigh sample masses of specific chemicals.

Our public missions offer individuals the same STEM experience as our students.

Probe Team members assemble, deploy, and monitor space probes launched during a mission.

Life Support team members perform pH and TDS tests on the spacecraft water supply.

Students become engineers as they build and experiment with various "Simple Machines."

Our popular team-building helium stick exercise teaches students to work together.

In our summer Rocket Camps, students build, customize and launch solid fueled rockets.

Temperature, wind direction, wind velocity and visibility are measured on a "Voyage to Mars."
