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.
How often do we look up at the night sky and wonder what we are seeing? What star or constellation is that? Is that a star or a planet? What do we say if a child or student asks these questions of us? Please join us as we will present some basic night sky viewing information and ideas for the elementary and middle school classroom. You do not need to be an expert astronomer to be able to take your students o...
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.

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...
Pick up lunch at The Center for Space Education and enjoy time at the KSC Visitor Complex. Picnic tables and indoor dining locations are available for seating. The Center for Space Education will be closed from 12:00-1:15 p.m.
Learn how to empower students in STEM with interactive hands-on explorations focused on building earth, space and science vocabulary aligned with NGSS. Participants will explore engineering with a variety of supplies that will complement classroom lessons and give teachers the confidence to lead students through creative, curriculum based STEAM projects about space. Building models of space vocabulary will b...
