INSPIRATION 4 ST JUDE MISSION

THIS EPIC VIRTUAL SPACE MISSION LAUNCHES AUGUST 9!

Using a collaborative space system virtual program, the trainee astronauts will conduct a human space exploration mission that includes building their own spacecraft, traveling across the vast expanses of space, and creating their own off-world habitat.

Space Teams is partnering with St. Jude and an amazing group of organizations including Texas Space Grant Consortium, One Giant Leap Australia, Mars City Design®, Society of Galactic Exploration and Higher Orbits to call all

young-astronauts-to-be to join a six-day virtual space mission,

led by a former NASA astronaut:

Dr. Greg Chamitoff

       In 1962, the same year  an American orbited the Earth for the first time, an unmanned spacecraft first landed on the far side of the moon, a hospital opened in Memphis, Tenn., committed to a different kind of uncharted territory: finding cures for kids with cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Nearly 60 years of scientific advancements later, childhood cancer survival rates have improved from 20% to 80%.

The St. Jude EPIC (Experimenting, Prototyping, Inventing and Creating) Challenge is an educational fundraising program that inspires students to apply their education, imagination and a whole lot of heart to flex their creative muscles and prototype a life-improving innovation for the kids at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

      The St. Jude EPIC Challenge lets students help their fellow kide all while supporting the lifesaving work at St. Jude. Learn how your students create and share their ideas with loved ones and unlock prizes along the way. Learn more and sign up today!
