Reach for the Stars

Space Teams Academy gives students an incredible opportunity to participate in space exploration - virtually.  For teachers, you can customize and enhance your space curriculum with a NASA sponsored program that covers so many of the NGSS objectives. 

​

Imagine flying your own spacecraft to explore the Moon, Mars or even Jupiter's moon Ganymede.  View the rings of Saturn from the surface of Titan.  Conduct a search for life on Europa.  Design, build and explore with your friends, and help create the vision for humanity's future. 

​

As part of a mission team, students will design spacecraft, navigate to another planet, land their vehicle, build a planetary habitat, and explore a new planet to find resources in order to sustain human life.

​

Lessons on topics ranging from planetary science to spacecraft systems, orbital mechanics to robotic exploration,  bring all aspects of space exploration to an understandable level for young students, who learn by doing and creating with these concepts themselves.  Artificial intelligence guides student teams as they master the engineering design process.

​

The outcome of this program is to inspire young explorers to pursue STEM subjects in school and ultimately enable them to join the international community of scientists and engineers working on the space frontier.
