NASA Academy of Future Space Explorers Class Topic
All classes included in an 8 week program
Atmosphere and Beyond
We’re on a mission to explore the atmosphere on Earth, and beyond! Travel to the end of the rainbow and make a sunset. Mix up various planetary atmospheres, one molecule at a time.
Living in Space
Experience the life of an astronaut as you suit up for space flight! Use teamwork to complete an important space mission. Bring home the challenge of repairing a solar panel on the ISS with your very own Mad Science Spacewalk Mission.
Planets and Moons
Explore the farthest reaches of our solar system and create a lunar eclipse on our home planet. See the size difference between the Earth and its moon. Build your very own Mad Science® Gravity Assisted Launcher to simulate gravitational pull.
Rocket Science
This is your chance to be a rocket scientist! Investigate the four forces of flight with the help of a Unique Flying Object! Explore the science involved in rocket construction as you build your own Skyblazer II Rocket that you can take home!
Space Phenomena
Probe the mysteries of meteors and bounce around satellite light in this phenomenal program on space events. Take home a Mad Science® Space Telescope to explore faraway objects just like the satellites orbiting around the Earth!
Space Technology
Discover technology that’s out of this world! Steer a laser beam through a maze, and discover everyday objects originally designed for use in space! Take home a Mad Science Stereoscopic Viewer and observe actual 3-D images from NASA’s probe transmissions.
Space Travel
Learn what it takes to be a true globetrotter! Race a balloon rocket and design your own balloon powered car engine as you learn about thrust. See the principles of propulsion at work in a real rocket launch and discover how we really get rockets moving.
Sun and Stars
This stellar program leads you through the life cycles of the stars! Learn about our star; the sun, and see stardust form. Use your Mad Science® Cosmic Disk and new found knowledge about the constellations to navigate the night sky!
