The Space Man

In partnership with Cosmic Explorers, this is a brand new program developed
in the wake of the 40th anniversary of the Apollo XI Moon landing. Students will be thrilled when our "astronaut" enters the room in full costume, bringing the excitement of space exploration to your school through stories, imagery and interaction. This program can be adapted for large assembly programs,
or for a single classroom. It is also adaptable for all grade levels.

Humans in Space
Students will be introduced to some of the Human needs that need to be met while in space, training done to prepare for working and living in a weightless environment, and the physical changes and challenges that astronauts experience during spaceflight.

Earth from Space
Explore the ways that NASA looks at our home planet so we can better understand our weather, climate, deforestation, and other global forces.

More Space Man programs are in development. Let us know what you want to see!

Gift Shop Options
Goodie bags are available from our gift shop for $2.50 per student. Bags contain a space patch, and a variety of space-related items which may include: star or shuttle erasers, notepads, moon calendars, earth keychains, Novins pencils, stickers, star necklaces, and more (dependent upon availability.) Please provide a minimum of one week's notice as bags are created for each individual group.
