Space Academy Weeklong Program

Middle school students are beginning to explore career options. At SPACE ACADEMY, they will see the real world applications of the math, science, engineering and technology concepts they are studying in school. Students will prepare to become the new generation of lunar explorers, with hands-on activities that place them in the role of spacecraft designers and astronauts on the Moon.

Trainees will face exciting challenges in our Space Station Mission Complex. Technically challenging anomalies will task trainees to use all their knowledge and critical thinking skills to solve the problem and save the mission!
