Space Out

The lure of space exploration offers a powerful way to ignite students’ interest in science, technology and engineering. This class guides students on a tour of our solar system and beyond, and then lets them plan their own mission to a distant destination. The class provides a base of knowledge to build on as students move ahead with studies in astronomy, Earth science, engineering and more.
