To Mars and Beyond!

Challenge yourself to find sources of water and oxygen, grow food in a foreign atmosphere and build shelter to survive the elements.

Comprised of 17 hands-on exhibits, Planet Pioneers will put budding astronauts and space explorers to the test when they attempt to source their own food, shelter and solve problems in an unknown world. Colonizing the planet is no trivial task and visitors should prepare for full-body challenges including driving a 4-D Surface Exploration Vehicle, flying a virtual drone to solve environmental issues and experiencing G-Force in a spinning capsule.

Planet Pioneers exhibit is included in museum admission.

Join us Tuesdays and/or Thursdays from 4:30am-6:00pm.\r\n\r\nRecommended for kids aged 10-17\r\n\r\nMinimum Required Skills \r\nNo experience needed! \r\n\r\nStudents will learn basic Spanish skills. The exact curriculum will depend on the skills, needs and interests of the enrolled students and will likely include:\r\n- the alphabet\r\n- greetings\r\n- various uses of numbers\r\n- simple yes or no questions and answers\r\n- simple information seeking questions, and\r\n- vocabulary that helps them express themselves on topics that are relevant to their life.\r\n\r\nThe curriculum is customized to the existing skills and knowledge of the students so if your student has done some Spanish in the past, they will work on learning new vocabulary while practicing grammatical concepts they are reviewing and learning new grammatical concepts with vocabulary they already know\r\n\r\nFor students who are taking this class to only fulfill their own desire to learn Spanish, the enrichment option offers that experience. For students who are also trying to fulfill a homeschool World Language requirement, the \"for credit\" add-on option will fulfill this requirement in most states. Please contact us if your state has very specific requirements and we will let you know if we can fulfill them. For credit students will receive a syllabus, graded assignments and assessments and a certificate of completion with covered Standards of Learning and grades notated on the \"back\". If digital versions of these are not acceptable, please communicate that to me and I can snail mail them to you.\r\n\r\nThis class meets via Zoom.
