So, what do you get when you mix HAM Radio, Fox Hunting, and Space Settlement Design…a lot of STEAM! In this session, participants will experience the integration of STEAM, as they utilize a Fox Hunt (scavenger hunt with radios) around the grounds of the Center for Space Education to render a 2D map and a 3D design for their space settlement in the classroom. This information will then be translated into des...
Astronaut Fred Haise is an American legend. He will join us virtually during the lunch hour on day one of SPACE 2024. What an amazing treat for our educators! He will tell his story of Apollo 13 and answer questions live with our conference participants via Zoom.
Helping students understand how a traditional rocket is built in stages through hands-on, problem based engineering and design activities. This build will be supported by the book Pegasus, flying with a little help from my friends. Teachers will build a Pegasus rocket and it's payload from recycled materials. This is a STEAM activity created by a teacher for grades K-6.
Speaking to an astronaut aboard the ISS is more than a radio and antenna - it’s a full STEM/STEAM experience using student-designed learning. From PE to the cafeteria, participants will experience, and receive, hands-on training to collaborate, design, and integrate multidisciplinary educational plans, including VR integration, for an Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) proposal.
