Build a Mars Colony In Minecraft with Robots and Code? YES! In our middle school computer programming class, students are using Microsoft MakeCode in Minecraft Education to simulate the robotic 3D printing of buildings and farming greenhouses on Mars. This is the futuristic vision of NASA and ICON (a Texas-based 3D house construction company) for both Moon / lunar exploration and colonization, as well as fut...

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. 

Engage students with a gel electrophoresis experiment analyzing DNA from the International Space Station! Can you determine whether dangerous bacteria have stowed away aboard the ISS before any crewmembers get sick? Microbe Hunters is a lab acti...

This is a free, fieldtrip workshop at KSC for middle schoolers to learn block coding based on VIPER mission planned to go to the Moon in 2024. Students become Artemis engineers programing robots in small teams to search craters on the south pole of the Moon on giant maps. Teams that complete this mission, then run a robot with their code in lunar soil simulant, safely outside the hostile fine-dust of the lun...
